Description
This young adult novel is set hundreds of years after mankind have fought a war against alien invaders. The Earth is gripped in the throes of a new Ice Age. In the frozen wastelands of Europe, hunger, poverty, disease, war, and mutated monsters hunt the survivors of humanity. In the ancient country of Turkey, the city of Byzantium has gained control of alien technology to beat back the winter and thrive. A new renaissance is starting. Hope is on the horizon. Winter is coming to an end. But two men just don't give a damn. Arthur Patterson, haunted by his brutal past and tired of Byzantium’s peaceful atmosphere, decides to leave the warm East and head out. His destination is unknown, his purpose uncertain, but he is sure that he is never coming back to safety. The fox is not a man but calls itself Luke Lyesmith. For centuries, it’s conned people, stolen goods, and robbed fools in order to stay alive. Now, it’s made a fatal mistake. By chance, Arthur and Luke meet each other in a bar and venture out to enter the enigmatic land of Iberia. As they travel together throughout Europa, they encounter friends, enemies, beasts, giants, and the terrible truth in this post-apocalyptic winter.
