It's happened once before, and it will happen again. In the year 2030 the Maunder Minimum, a period of solar inactivity, will cause a mini-ice age like it did between the years 1645 and 1710. When it does, Bishop will have to save her not only from the effects of severe weather but also from man himself. Maeve Tilton and her son Ben live alone in the rural town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Since her husband died in the war, she's barely kept her head above water, and when the first freeze strikes in the fall, she's completely unprepared for what lies ahead. Only a war-torn man, one who prefers the solitude of the Kootenai National Forest, can rescue her and her son.

"I see the desperation in their eyes, the fear that grips them as hunger claws at their insides. I promised to protect these people, to keep them safe from harm, but even I couldn't have predicted the harshness of this weather. The snow is deep, the winds are bitter, and food grows more scarce. But then, salvation comes in the form of an Osprey helicopter. It's unexpected, but it's a chance we can't ignore. We need supplies, we need food, and this helicopter is our lifeline. I can't let my people starve. The problem is, our enemies know this too. They will do whatever it takes to keep us from getting our hands on that helicopter. They've stationed themselves on the frozen lake where it's landed, heavily armed and waiting for us. It's a suicide mission, but I have no choice. I promised these people safety and I intend to keep that promise."

From the bestselling author of the Graham's Resolution series comes book three in the Surrender the Sun series. In an impossible situation, our story of a mini ice age starts with hopefulness spaning to heartbreak. How will Bishop and the others survive impossible odds as they seek to bring those they love to shelter. And is the Osprey, and all those on board, truly gone forever? How will Jax and the others make their way on such a perilous journey? The brutality of survival in this post-apocalyptic world leaves little hope for humanity after the Maunder Minimum. Perhaps they're lost after all.
