​About Ice's End

​In 2123, the world is dying—and Antarctica’s last remaining glaciers are the final source of fresh water. Controlled by the all-powerful StarCross Corporation, Spigot—the continent’s largest water extraction facility—feeds a desperate planet. But off this continent’s frigid shore lies a secret that could change everything.

​Roscoe Slake thought his internship with StarCross would be his ticket off-world, away from Earth’s collapsing ecosystems and corporate rule. Instead, he’s stuck in Spigot’s archives, combing through centuries-old documents—until he stumbles upon a forgotten record from the Ross Antarctic Expedition of 1839-43. What Roscoe discovers could upend the balance of power and make fresh water plentiful again—if he survives long enough to expose it.

​Blending historical intrigue with near-future climate fiction, Ice’s End is a gripping sci-fi thriller perfect for fans of Miller’s Blackfish City, Bacigalupi’s The Water Knife, and Qiufan’s Waste Tide. With echoes of Simmon’s The Terror and Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future, this novel takes readers on a high-stakes journey into Antarctica’s frozen frontier—where the past and future collide, and survival is never guaranteed.
