Description
In 1924, the disappearance of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine on Everest halts the world’s greatest ascent—and the mystery refuses to stay buried. The following year, a British poet shaped by the Great War, a young French guide from Chamonix, and an idealistic American climber take a perilous shot at the summit, funded by Lady Bromley, whose grief demands answers. As they push higher into the thin air of Tibet and Everest, they are joined by a determined cousin and find themselves hunted through the night by something that may not belong to the human world. Blending high-altitude survival with chilling suspense, the novel explores obsession, faith, and the thin line between legend and truth—delivered in Dan Simmons’s signature style of immersive atmosphere and relentless momentum.
