CHAPTER 1 - PREVIEW
Tully was lost and confused. One moment she had been in the silent cold of between places with Hourig, heading to see Luca at his home in Scotland for dinner and now, inexplicably, she was here. Alone in a frozen wasteland, the wind howling around her like a demented animal.
On the verge of panic, she called Hourig’s name several times, but her words were instantly whipped away into the frozen void around her.
“Calm down, Tully, calm down,” she said to herself.
Pulling her jacket hood close around her face, she squinted out through the driving snow to an alien landscape. Glimpses of vast ice ranges and glacial fields could be seen by the light of some celestial object (was it a moon or sun? Tully couldn’t tell), which was so diffused by the blizzard that she had no way of orientating herself.
She thrust her fingers, now completely numb, under her armpits to try to keep them warm and slowly turned around. There was nothing she could use as a reference point, however, and after a couple of turns she was completely disorientated.
“Hourig!!” she called out again, more desperately this time, but only silence answered back and she felt despair well up inside her as the heat from her body rapidly leeched out into the snow and ice around her.
Just as she thought she must be the only living thing left on the planet, she saw in the distance a pack of white, wolf-like creatures running silently towards her, disappearing and reappearing as the wind and snow swirled in front of her eyes.
She watched in horrified fascination as they quickly drew closer, wondering if she was dreaming. But then, suddenly, they were upon her, their warm breath, smelling pungently of fish, enveloping her in reality. She threw her hands out in self-defence but the animals swept away around her, leaving her unharmed. It was only then that she realised that the ‘wolves’ were actually dogs pulling a sledge behind them.
Tully screamed out in horror as they disappeared back into the blizzard and she stumbled after them in a blind panic, legs hampered by the deep snow. Lost again, with no reference point and gripped by fear, she stopped, realising that her only hope of survival had just disappeared.
