In the chilling shadow of Cleveland’s skyline, a near-future apocalypse has transformed the once-bustling city into a frozen wasteland. Rising waters from an unforgiving climate have reshaped the world, and the harsh winters of this new era are relentless. Amidst this desolate backdrop, Katy, a once-revered doctor, emerges as an unlikely beacon of hope.

Katy’s world is overturned when a ferocious storm wrecks her boat, propelling her into the heart of a city she had long forsaken. Here, amidst the icy ruins, the horrors she encounters surpass the darkest recesses of the imagination. The Venganza clan, masked warriors with a cryptic agenda, relentlessly pursue her through the crumbling urban wilderness. Each step Katy takes weaves her deeper into a web of peril and grim survival.

As the line between her past life and the desperate struggle of the present blurs, Katy is confronted with a harrowing choice: cling to the shadows of her former self or embrace the harsh realities of a new world to ensure the future of humanity. In this post-apocalyptic Cleveland, where the climate’s fury is as deadly as the foes that lurk in the frozen streets, Katy’s decision holds the key to mankind’s salvation or its ultimate demise.

This gripping tale by master storyteller J. Thorn, delivers a world of speculative horror and sci-fi, intertwining the harrowing journey of survival with the urgent message of climate fiction. It’s a story of resilience, the indomitable human spirit, and the thin line between civilization and savagery in a world undone.
