The City Beneath The Ice

At the edge of the world, something ancient is waking.

When journalist Melissa Golding lands in Antarctica hoping to revive a faltering career, she expects cold, danger, and isolation. She does not expect the impossible geometry buried beneath the glacier—nor the way it seems to breathe, listen, and whisper.

Charlotte “Frankie” Franklin, the expedition’s glaciologist, has spent her life trusting ice and no one else. But the structure under the ridge defies every law she knows. As her team descends into its shifting corridors, reality bends… and people begin to disappear without a trace.

When Melissa hears her sister’s voice echo from an empty hallway, and Frankie nearly loses her in a looping illusion, the two women are drawn together by instinct, fear, and a connection neither of them expected.

As the anomalies intensify, the truth becomes undeniable:
the structure is responding to them — emotionally, psychologically, deliberately.

And someone on the team wants its power for themselves.

With the vault activating, the ice collapsing, and the world above oblivious to what lies beneath, Frankie and Melissa must trust each other to survive a place that unravels the mind as easily as it shifts its walls.

But the deeper they go, the more the structure learns them — and the more it becomes clear that not everyone will make it back to the surface.

A claustrophobic, atmospheric sci-fi thriller about survival, perception, and the fragile line between fear and connection, The City Beneath The Ice blends mystery, romance, and cosmic unease into a story that lingers long after the frost melts.
