An illness is spreading across the stars.

 

A girl's blood reveals a secret—a genetic code sought for centuries.

 

Eighteen-year-old Kaia is not like her father, a hard-working miner – she’s an adrenaline junkie. A trait that has gotten her in a fair share of trouble in the glacier town.

 

When a company of healers arrives in her town after a horrible mining accident, Kaia is forced to flee the only place she has ever known. Hunted, Kaia must enter a deadly iceboarding contest to escape. But as the contest grows closer, Kaia discovers that nothing is what it seems—her dad, her best friend, her home, and worst of all, herself.

Content Warning

Shattered Ice is a Fictional Action Adventure about a female character who is forced to flee an unknown adversary while learning about herself and her past. While fast-paced and exciting, the story might include elements that might not be suitable for some readers. Mentioned death/illness to a parent, mentions of self-harm and suicidal thoughts (past, off-page), reference to abuse by an ill parent (past, off-page), violence toward fictional animals and robots, and graphic violence are present in the novel. Readers who may be sensitive to these elements, please take note.

Shattered Ice is a novel inspired by both Scandinavian and Sámi culture. As a Norwegian, I must preface that I am not the right person to write a Sámi story, but I believe a Nordic-inspired world cannot be true to its roots if it does not also highlight the Sámi. Please take some time to learn about their culture and history here: https://nordnorge.com/en/tema/the-sami-are-the-indigenous-people-of-the-north/
