Since then, Dol has lived a simple life in the countryside - safe from the shadow of the Icon and its terrifying power. Hiding from the one truth she can't avoid. She's different. She survived. Why?

Welcome to the new world. We thought we were the last and all we had to do was survive the initial outbreak. Turns out the hard part is surviving each other. Man, the post-apocalypse is brutal. Most of the runners have phased out, but a fraction have survived. They are smarter, faster, and way more deadly. We were supposed to be safe, but the virus has mutated, making the infected smarter than anyone ever thought possible. Our only hope for survival is to make it to the Tower, where we'll be safe behind walls with a group of survivors just like us.

Two boys and two girls are best friends. They have skied and snowboarded together into every corner of Jagged Peak in search of adventure, but always within the safety of that ski area's boundaries. Until now, when they follow the tracks of a strange snow-sliding creature into the volcanic out-of-bounds. And vanish into another world. Three land deep in an eerie jungle, and one falls high on an icy cornice - all of them ditched by a tricky, rogue wormhole, which disappears over distant snow-covered peaks.

But nothing could have prepared her for the bonds she would form with the very people she hopes to beat.

As she flees to a resistance outpost hidden beneath a mountain, Dol makes contact with a fifth Icon Child, if only through her visions.
