When a strange island rises out of the sea right in front of their ship, Conor McCall and his fellow Recon Marines find themselves within sight of their new home...and fighting for their lives. The Deep Ones know about Conor’s sword, and they want it. Badly. Fighting their way out of the ambush, the Marines and their allies find themselves drawn into the quest for the sword’s twin, far off to the east.

The foul things they’re in league with have been planning longer still.

Their only allies in that harsh, frozen, haunted land are besieged by forces wielding powers they’ve only seen once before. Will they accomplish their mission...or die trying?
