In 3019, if you’re not Pure enough, you’re frozen to await your cure.

Shaanleigh has built her life on protecting the system, protecting the True Path. Feared and revered as Xianova’s Dean of Security, she is one of the first to receive the new Transparency of Thought bio-upgrade—a technology designed to allow people to share their thoughts telepathically when they choose to.

Then the upgrade backfires.

Instead of opening her thoughts only to those she allows, it pulls Shaan into a full-scale mind-to-mind merge with a young Impure boy she has been ordered to cryogenically Bless. She should finish the job and move on. But the deeper their connection goes, the harder it becomes to believe that freezing him is mercy—or that the system she serves is as righteous as she has always believed.

Now Shaan must choose between the order that gave her power and the boy who has shattered her certainty. Question the True Path, and she risks her career, her family, and her freedom. Obey it, and she may destroy something in herself she can never recover.

Because in Xianova, doubt is dangerous – and anyone can become one of The Frozen.

The Frozen is a far-future dystopian science-fiction adventure for adult and older-teen readers who enjoy morally complex protagonists, dangerous technology, high-stakes action, and stories about what happens when striving to be more like God becomes deciding humanity’s fate in His place.
