On the Arctic shores of Great Bear Lake, stones are about to be upturned.

Archaeology student and avid runner Erin Amyntas is spending the summer at a dig in Canada's North, where the local Dene Council has asked the team to excavate a possible village site. What they find instead-an inexplicable construct made of strange, dark material-disrupts everything that is known and understood about humankind and threatens the very foundation of the modern world.

Mysteries start to pile up as Erin meets Henry, a local guide who is also a runner. While running together under the disorienting light of the midnight sun, Henry reveals stories of his own. Erin is soon protecting secrets from all sides and struggling to make sense of the discoveries. As more is found, she becomes caught up in fake news, betrayal, and international intrigue.

Truth hums just below the surface in this gripping, fast-paced adventure story that spans the Canadian North, Newfoundland, and South America. While the world around them rushes to create easy answers, Erin and Henry must uncover the truth of the past-before it's too late.
