1901. On board the Ormen, a whaling ship battling through the unforgiving North Sea, Nicky Duthie awakes. Attacked and dragged there against her will, its just her and the crew and theyre all owed something only she can give them.
1973. Decades later, when the ship is found still drifting across the ocean, its deserted. Just one body is left on board, his face and feet mutilated, his cabin locked from the inside. Everyone else has vanished.
Now, as urban explorer Dominique travels into the near-permanent darkness of the northernmost tip of Iceland, to the final resting place of the Ormens wreck, shes determined to uncover the ships secrets.
But shes not alone. Something is here with her. And its seeking revenge
