To save humanity, he must cross a frigid wasteland. With his flock at full strength and all his psionic powers unlocked, Ward and those closest to him are finally ready to confront the insane Thred shaman intent on wiping out humanity. To reach him, they’ll have to cross the breadth of the northern continent, an expanse of icy wasteland plagued by fierce storms, constantly shifting ice floes, and predatory ice worms. Even with the help of all the allies they’ve gathered on their journey, the trip to the pole will be incredibly dangerous. But failure means the death of every human on the planet.
