A dark past. An impossible journey. The will to survive

Franny Stone is determined to go to the end of the earth, following the last of the Arctic terns on what may be their final migration to Antarctica.

She talks her way onto one of the few remaining boats heading south but as she and the eccentric crew travel further from shore and safety, the dark secrets of Franny’s life begin to unspool. Haunted by love and violence, Franny must confront what she is really running towards – and from.
