The Sound Of Ice

Far out at sea, in the near future, 167 tiny boats form a silent ring around an iceberg. On each boat sits a mother and daughter. Their task is simple: watch the ice, protect it and survive. On land, a healer shelters women fleeing the men who have brutalised them. When the iceberg is attacked, the Water Wars erupt.

What follows is a fierce story of women pushed to the edge and what they will do to protect one another when the world has failed them completely. It is the silence before collapse, the crack before breaking, and the sound life makes when it refuses to disappear. Both a dystopian thriller and a hymn to endurance, *The Sound of Ice* explores trafficked bodies and stolen futures, female fury, tenderness, exile and the cost of trying to remain human when everything has turned monstrous. Terrifying, beautiful and utterly unforgettable, *The Sound of Ice* is a powerful story of survival, solidarity and the unbreakable will to endure.
