Greetings, travelers.  Our journey through the Otherworld this week brings us to a place where the landscape itself seems determined to keep its secrets buried.  Far from civilization, surrounded by ice and unforgiving wilderness, the smallest discovery can become something impossible to escape.  Today, we venture into a frozen outpost where an ancient mystery refuses to remain buried.  It’s here that survival may depend on uncovering the truth before it spreads beyond the reach of those who found it.  If you’re looking for a tense speculative thriller where isolation, danger, and human resilience collide, read on to learn more about Hidden in Ice.

In Hidden in Ice, author Patricia Elliott demonstrates the same qualities that have made her previous works so engaging: a talent for combining fast-moving suspense with characters grounded in authentic human emotion.  Elliott understands that the most effective tension comes from placing believable people inside dangerous situations and allowing fear, uncertainty, and relationships to shape their decisions.  Her storytelling has a natural momentum that keeps the narrative moving while still leaving room for the emotional connections that give the danger meaning.  With an atmosphere built around isolation and mystery, Hidden in Ice promises another compelling example of Elliott’s ability to bring speculative ideas down to a deeply human level.

Summoned to a remote Alaskan research station, Forensic Anthropologist Hannah Fraser expects a routine recovery—until she discovers a boy entombed in ice. Perfectly and impossibly preserved. And somehow… alive.

When the ice begins to thaw, something awakens within him. A single bite is all it takes. Violence spreads through the isolated station as researchers turn on one another, and the frozen outpost becomes a prison of blood and fear.

With evacuation impossible and time running out, Hannah joins forces with Xavier Evans, the station’s head of security, to uncover what was really trapped in the ice.

Because the boy is only the beginning, and something deadly has been released inside the station.

And once it spreads beyond the ice, there may be no way to stop it…

Hidden in Ice is chilling because of the way Elliott uses its remote setting to amplify every uncertainty.  The frozen landscape and isolation of the research station create an atmosphere where there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.  Yet beneath the suspense lies the same emotional foundation that has become a strength of Elliott’s storytelling, ensuring that the characters remain at the center of the experience even as circumstances spiral beyond their control.  Readers who enjoy atmospheric horror in their survival stories will love this tale, and the mysteries that combine high stakes with genuine emotional investment will ensure it settles within them long after they turn the final page.  If you’re ready to venture into the ice and uncover what should have remained buried, don’t wait.  Keep an eye out for Hidden in Ice on Amazon, coming soon.
