When she receives word that her estranged mother has passed away alone in the small mountain town of Maplewood, she has no choice but to return to the place she swore she'd never see again. But Maplewood is not the quiet, sleepy town she remembers. Something ancient and terrible lurks beneath the frozen river that winds through the valley-a darkness that has been claiming women for centuries, trapping them beneath the ice in a state between life and death, frozen in time, waiting for someone to set them free.Elara's grandmother was one of those women.
