The Outlaw Melodiac

Four hundred years ago, the lights went out. The snow buried the nuclear desert. All the flowers died. One day, winter began...and it never ended.

Jael Jannigan lives during the primitive second ice age. Rejected by her parents because of a rare skin condition, Jael seeks acceptance among the Klifrari -- a rugged clan of mountain people who know the secrets to surviving the endless winters. Desperate to prove herself, Jael ventures into a blizzard where she meets Luca -- a lost Blockade Runner carrying an ancient book of forbidden music.

On the dying planet Gravarus, the assassination plot against the queen has failed, and the queen finds herself without an heir. Convinced that an ancient book of human music could save their race, she sends her disgraced sons Aresis and Obsidian to find it. Whichever prince returns the book to Gravarus will win the right to the throne.

Forced together by something stronger than fate, Obsidian, Jael, and Luca team up to keep the book from falling into Aresis' cruel hands. As they race across a snow-swept tundra on an old iron steam train, the three companions must overcome their differences and discover the secrets in the ancient music if they hope to save themselves and, perhaps, all of humanity.
