A vivid ghost story exploring identity, gender and selfhood, set
against the backdrop of the golden age of polar exploration.
Perfect for fans of Philip Pullman's Northern Lights and Michelle
Paver's Thin Air. In the wake of the First World War, Jonathan
Morgan stows away on an Antarctic expedition, determined to find
his rightful place in the world of men. Aboard the expeditionary
ship of his hero, the world-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 not all is
smooth sailing: the war casts its long shadow over them all, and
grief, guilt, and mistrust skulk among the explorers. When disaster
strikes in Antarctica's frozen Weddell Sea, the men must take to
the land and overwinter somewhere which immediately seems both
eerie and wrong; a place not marked on any of their part-drawn maps
of the vast white continent. Now completely isolated, Randall's
expedition has no ability to contact the outside world. And no one
is coming to rescue them. In the freezing darkness of the Polar
night, where the aurora creeps across the sky, something terrible
has been waiting to lure them out into its deadly landscape... As
the harsh Antarctic winter descends, this supernatural force will
prey on their deepest desires and deepest fears to pick them off
one by one. It is up to Jonathan to overcome his own ghosts before
he and the expedition are utterly destroyed.
