Still, Anders’s resourcefulness and knowledge give hope that he will find a new ones.

A skilled but enigmatic surgeon in his fifties who once practiced at Metropolis City Hospital.

A former businessman turned ruler of the Solars, Logan Boyce knows exactly how to manipulate people and wrap them around his finger.

To Logan, people are nothing more than assets in a twisted game whose rules only he knows.

Robyn Cane has watched the world tear itself apart since the Permafrost hit. Daughter of the local Sheriff Ethan Cane, she survived the fall of House Camp, the collapse of the Solar Community, and every tragedy that followed.

Anna's right hand, a talented hunter working with the Resistance. He possesses exceptional tracking and survival skills, which he willingly shares with those who prove their worth by participating in his hunting or endurance challenges.

An erratic survivor with a traumatic and mysterious past that slowly pushed her into madness. She believes herself to be the true ruler of the Solars, a delusion that often brings her into conflict with Logan.
