Entry metadata
The surface of Earth is a frozen ruin; the machines that ended civilization still hunt in the depths below. Keith Winterscar — sharp-tongued black sheep of a hardened surface clan — descends with his father into territory that eats expeditions, and finds a war far older and stranger than the ice.
Progression: salvaged relic-tech and knightly frames earned piece by piece; weak-to-strong against a hostile world.
Reader fit: you want post-apocalyptic sci-fi progression with real mysteries and family friction that matters.
Texture: cold, tense, banter under pressure.
