In 1845, the HMS Vanguard, under the command of Captain William Caulderson, departed England on a voyage of discovery to find a Northwest Passage through the perilous arctic waters separating the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It was never heard from again.
Five years later, Captain David Maxwell of the Serapis sets sail to attempt to recover the Vanguard and determine the fate of his former commander.
Naturalist Embleton Hall is running from demons of his own. He doesn’t expect to find himself drawn to Captain Maxwell–but the two men form a bond that will become essential to their survival.
Together, they’ll brave the elements on a long and harrowing voyage to discover the fate of the lost ship Vanguard. But they’ll also learn that some secrets are best left frozen in ice.

I have read 120 books so far this year, many of which I loved. This one blew every single one of them out of the water. This book is one of those very rare books that sort of lives in you after you read it. I can’t stop thinking about this book. It’s just beautiful. I’m livid that I can’t read it again for the first time. I stayed up until 3am because I couldn’t put it down. I’m furious that I had to put it down because it ended. I read it in Kindle format, but I’ve ordered the paperback because I need it on my shelf. I just adored it.
