A dystopian city under ice offers a cold future to the last of the Marchands
Verity Marchand is an orphan of time, separated from her parents by time travel and hiding out in a dystopian future where her family tavern is part of a Boston in the grip of an ice age. If the powers who rule the small community of survivors discover her existence, she’ll lose what little freedom she has. When Verity’s dreams lead her into a nightmare, she’ll need a miracle—or the family cat—to save her.
Follow the cat through time and space…
