Beyond the Ice


Beyond the Ice
by Miss Liz
At the edge of the known world stands the Wall — a barrier of ice a thousand feet high, stretching endlessly in both directions, beyond which no explorer has ever returned. When a disgraced cartographer joins an expedition to map its surface, she discovers ancient runes carved into the ice, a civilization that remembers a time before the frost, and the terrifying truth: the Wall was not built to keep the cold out. It was built to keep something in.
