Publisher's blurb:
Frozen sheets of ice coat this steel mining rig, perched in the middle of a glacial chasm. Darkness waits below, while the leftover fires of battle burn despite the frigid air. Crystals of ice form in the stiff bodies of the dead, their pools of blood freezing quickly.
Fingers here soon grow rigid and numb with cold. Beards and eyebrows become leaden with heavy frost, while noses begin to sting from the harsh kiss of the elements.
The frost creeps upon the barrels and storage crates, crawling over the steel plating of the rig to slowly coat the surrounding dwellings in which the miners used to live.
Once, visitors would hear the chipping of apprentices removing ice from the rig, but not anymore. Now, everything is silent but for the hissing and spitting flames.
