Cold Dawn

A decade of freezing darkness, and the sun is rising on what's left of humanity. Giant cities stride, roll, and crawl across the frozen wasteland, desperate to stay one step ahead of the devastating storms that share the planet with them. And yet, no one seems to remember that it's not just the weather that can kill.

Wendy Milton rides the galleons - ships that carve their way through the ice on giant razors - securing the route for her home city. It's noble work, but there's profit to be made, too, especially if one happens to discover a wrecked machine from the pre-ice days. That's a fortune waiting to be made, for her and her crew, but between ice pirates, bidding wars, and the everpresent cold, her cushy retirement may just be out of reach.

Cold Dawn is a new science fiction story from the mind behind the Warlocks of Whitehall series, perfect for fans of Killjoys, Mortal Engines, and other sci-fi mainstays.
