Heatfall

The frost never stops moving. Stay too long, and it will take you too.

In the ruins of a world where summer lasts only nine fleeting days, survival means chasing the sun. Caravans—massive, steel-clad convoys—race the shifting line of warmth, bound by the Nine-Day Law: move on, or be buried in ice.

Tessa, Lead of the Crimson Wake, has built her people’s survival on discipline and sacrifice. Cael, her former lover and rival, leads the daring Cinderpath with instinct and risk. When an encrypted signal from a forgotten weather station promises the unthinkable—a way to extend Heatfall—they are forced into an uneasy alliance.

But the journey drags them deep into frostfront territory, where frozen ruins hide more than ghosts, and the land itself seems hungry to consume the living. Every mile forward reveals harsher truths: about the world, about their caravans, and about each other.

To seize summer, someone must pay winter’s price.

Perfect for fans of Station Eleven, The Road, and Snowpiercer, Heatfall is a post-apocalyptic survival mystery of love, betrayal, and the dangerous hope that warmth can last forever.
