The 13th Immortal

In a world reshaped by the cataclysm of 2062, humanity has retreated into a rigid, hand‑driven existence known as the Years of the Freeze. Twelve immortal rulers have divided the globe into stable duchies, keeping technology at bay while an impenetrable barrier isolates the once‑frozen continent of Antarctica, now a mysterious paradise that few can reach.

Dale Kesley awakens with no memory of his past, haunted only by a single question: who was his father? When a mutant interrogates him, the answer seems to lie far beyond the familiar continents, hidden in the forbidden lands of the South. With only spindly six‑legged mutant horses for transport and a bounty on his head from the immortal dictators, Kesley must find an unexpected ally before his quest becomes a suicide mission.

The stakes are colossal—if he can uncover the secret of Antarctica, the future of the entire world may hang in the balance. Yet every step forward draws him deeper into a web of intrigue, danger, and the lingering echo of a world that once dared to dream of more.
