come from strange places. This one came from reading about a decades-old incident in the Ural Mountains of Russia and the death of a group of hikers. A special thank you to the book
Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident
by Donnie Eichar for planting the seed that led to this work of pure fiction.
A heartfelt thank you to Walt Stone for answering all of my geology questions, even the really basic ones like, “talk to me about limestone . . .” Your help was invaluable. All of the mistakes about geology are mine because you really tried to educate me.
My deepest gratitude goes to May Chen for being the amazing, enthusiastic, and thoughtful editor she is. And to everyone at Team Avon who work so hard on all of my books—thank you!
A final thank you to my agent, Laura Bradford, and my husband, James. You are the two people who make my writing life easier.

She has sold over thirty novels, novellas, and shorts to numerous publishers. Her nationally bestselling and award-winning books have been showcased in many venues, and her books have twice been named “Red-Hot Reads” and excerpted in
Cosmopolitan
magazine. But if you ask her, she’ll tell you the best part of the job is never having to wear pantyhose again. You can learn more at her website:
