Umbra #[nn]

In the icy depths of an Icelandic glacial cave, forensic tech Askja Thorasdottir unearths a skeleton that defies explanation—a Neanderthal woman clad in a modern designer jacket, shot with a Russian bullet. As she delves into the bizarre case, her investigation leads her into a dangerous web of secrets and a charged connection with police inspector Freyja Skulasdottir. When the lab explodes in a violent act of sabotage, Askja realizes the past is far from buried—and someone is determined to keep it that way.

In the quiet tension of a midnight sea, Askja Thorasdottir follows a dream to a hidden island and a buried bunker where children walk the line between life and death. There, she confronts the truth behind her visions—and the Russian sleeper agent hunting her—just as her lover, Freyja Skulasdottir, arrives to protect her.
