12 Miles Below Novel

In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by extreme sub-zero temperatures, survival on the surface is nearly impossible. Frozen ruins of ancient civilizations dot vast ice wastelands, while a privileged few control any recovered technology. Humanity's only refuge lies underground, yet the depths present their own horrors: colossal machines inhabit the abyss, and immortal demigods wage endless wars against them, treating death and resurrection as entertainment. The terrain itself constantly transforms, more artificial mechanism than natural rock. Ancient prophecies suggest that ultimate answers await at the deepest level, yet no one has ever penetrated that far. When an expedition into the uncharted northern regions catastrophically fails, Keith Winterscar and his father find themselves trapped together in a harrowing fight for survival. Forced to confront an ancient conflict of godlike proportions, father and son must overcome their differences while battling deities, legends, and uncovering the profound secrets hidden within the realm below.
