On the Arctic shores of Great Bear Lake, stones are about to be upturned. Archaeology student and avid runner Erin Amyntas is spending the summer at a dig in Canada's North, where the local Dene Council has asked the team to excavate a possible village site. What they find instead—an inexplicable construct made of strange, dark material—disrupts everything that is known and understood about humankind and threatens the very foundation of the modern world. Mysteries start to pile up as Erin meets Henry, a local guide who is also a runner. While running together under the disorienting light of the midnight sun, Henry reveals stories of his own. Erin is soon protecting secrets from all sides and struggling to make sense of the discoveries. As more is found, she becomes caught up in fake news, betrayal, and international intrigue. Truth hums just below the surface in this gripping, fast-paced adventure story that spans the Canadian North, Newfoundland, and South America. While the world around them rushes to create easy answers, Erin and Henry must uncover the truth of the past—before it’s too late.

For Honour O'Brien, home had always been Charlie's All–Night Truck Stop, where weary drivers were sure to find the best barbecue in west Texas served up with warm smiles from Honour and her mother Charlotte “Charlie” O'Brien. But with the recent death of her mother, Honour knew that Charlie's would never be quite the same. And despite the support of friends and neighbours, Honour couldn't imagine life without the spirited love of her mother. When the grief was too much to bear, Honour hid between two huge rigs in the parking lot and burst into tears. A second later, Honour realised she wasn't alone. She was being watched by the dark brown eyes of a handsome man, a stranger who hesitated just a moment before pulling her into his arms and offering her the warm comfort of his embrace. After the long trip from Colorado, Trace Logan couldn't believe his good fortune. He'd been sent here to find Honour O'Brien. And like magic, the long–legged beauty with a glorious black jumble of curls had fallen into his arms. He had found his woman. Now, if he could only get her back to Colorado without a struggle...
