It begins with a baby. Buried and alone, yet somehow alive in the frozen tundra of the Alaskan wasteland, Apollonia was the last thing veteran John Halldor ever wanted or needed in his solitary existence. John discovers strange traits in his young charge, including immunity to cold and strength far beyond what a normal human girl should possess. Most chilling is her distaste for human food, as she subsists on a diet of nothing but blood. As the truth about Apollonia’s existence comes to light, the two find themselves on the run, hunted by a true monster, and chased by a secret faction of the government. All roads lead to an age-old galactic war and an impossible choice for Apollonia that will decide the fate of the world.
