Description
A vivid ghost story set against the backdrop of polar exploration, exploring identity, gender and selfhood. In 1919, Jonathan Morgan stows away on an Antarctic expedition, determined to find his rightful place in the world of men. As the First World War casts its long shadow over them all, grief, guilt and mistrust threaten the group. Aboard a ship led by the famous explorer James "Australis" Randall, Jonathan may live as his true self-and true gender-and have the adventures he has always been denied. But disaster strikes when they become stranded in Antarctica's frozen Weddell Sea, with no ability to contact the outside world. As the harsh Antarctic winter descends, a supernatural force preys on their deepest desires and fears, picking them off one by one. It is up to Jonathan to overcome his own ghosts before he and the expedition are utterly destroyed. This gripping tale of survival and self-discovery will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
