In the frozen ruins of a drowned London, climate archivist Ari Fenwick uncovers a relic no one was ever meant to find-a centuries-old cryo-journal, preserved in luminous ice and encoded with secrets powerful enough to reshape the world.
As Ari painstakingly thaws and decrypts the device, its fragmented entries reveal a buried history: the disappearance of the MareTen Coalition, a group of scientists and activists who tried to expose the truth behind the climate collapse... and were silenced for it. Their warnings, their evidence, their final desperate acts-all locked inside a digital vault hidden beneath the waves.
But the journal holds more than data.
It holds ghost memories-vivid, intrusive visions from a world long lost. Cities Ari has never seen. Lives she has never lived. Emotions that aren't her own. Each revelation pulls her deeper into the Coalition's final days... and closer to the shadowy organization that destroyed them: the Global Rebalance Initiative, a power that still controls the post-collapse world.
As Ari races to decode the journal's final coordinates-leading to a submerged vault off the Norwegian coast-she realizes she's no longer just preserving history. She's becoming part of it. And the GRI is already hunting for the same truth she's about to uncover.
Some secrets were frozen for a reason.
Some ghosts refuse to stay buried.
The Ice Will Listen is a tense, atmospheric sci-fi thriller about memory, resistance, and the dangerous power of truth in a world built on forgetting.
