About the book
June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to rise together. But while Athena basked in literary fame, June faded into obscurity. Until the unthinkable happened—Athena’s sudden death. Fueled by envy and ambition, June seizes Athena’s just-finished manuscript, an extraordinary novel about Chinese laborers in World War I. She rebrands herself as Juniper Song and claims the story as her own.
Success follows swiftly: bestseller lists, glowing reviews, and a whole new identity. But Athena’s legacy isn’t so easily buried. Whispers of plagiarism and emerging evidence threaten to unravel June’s carefully constructed life. As her lies close in, June faces a chilling question: how far will she go to preserve her stolen triumph? A provocative exploration of ambition, appropriation, and the cost of deception.

About the book
A ruthless fortune hunter sails to Norway to unlock the mystery of the Blue Ice in this sweeping adventure at the edge of the world.
Bill Gansert thrived during World War II. An industrial genius, he mobilized millions of men and machines for the fight against fascism, but when the war is through, he's cut adrift. Unmoored in a country that doesn't need him anymore, Gansert takes to the sea, embarking on an adventure that will take him to the ends of the earth—and show him the desperate treachery that lies within man's soul.
It's been ten years since adventurer George Farnell disappeared after setting out to make his fortune in the frozen wilds of Norway. Two lines of poetry and a shard of rock are all that remain of him, and only Gansert has the wit to understand Farnell's final discovery—and the daring to seize it for his own. With a small crew, he sets out for the Arctic Circle to a whaling station in the icy shadows of the mountain known as Blue Ice, where he will make his fortune anew—or be destroyed by his own poisonous ambition.
Inspired by author Hammond Innes's travels among the whalers of Norway, The Blue Ice is a story of hard-driving adventure as only the acclaimed writer of Atlantic Fury, The Wreck of the Mary Deare, and other classics could tell it.
