Publisher's Synopsis
"Follow what you see, Inheritor." As winter falls, Ruby pushes the Harbinger north. She is searching for a snow-packed island, and with it, answers to her questions. What secrets are contained in the ancient diary left to her? What is the amulet tucked inside? And most important: what is held in the ruin Grace told her to pursue? When a devastating storm wreaks havoc on the Harbinger, unravelling these mysteries becomes just one of Ruby's concerns. Ship crippled, unable to contact the outside world, the crew are stranded ... but not alone. Now Ruby finds herself thrust into a race against time. Stalked by watchers in the dark, the Harbinger is jeopardised from within, too. A schism threatens to tear apart the chain-of-command: because, to come here and answer her questions, Ruby has lied to her crew. And her deceit will not stay buried forever.
