Publisher's summary

The second audiobook in the New York Times bestselling Moonfall series from thriller-master James Rollins, The Cradle of Ice is a heart-pumping tale of action, adventure, betrayal, ambition, and the struggle for survival in a harsh world that hangs by a thread.

To stop the coming apocalypse, a fellowship was formed.

A soldier, a thief, a lost prince, and a young girl bonded by fate and looming disaster.

Each step along this path has changed the party, forging deep alliances and greater
enmities. All the while, hostile forces have hunted them, fearing what they might
unleash. Armies wage war around them.

For each step has come with a cost—in blood, in loss, in heartbreak.

Now, they must split, traveling into a vast region of ice and to a sprawling capital of the world they’ve only known in stories. Time is running out and only the truth will save us all.

Critic reviews

"Readers will want to continue their journey with Nyx and her companions…as the middle story in a huge epic that blends the science fiction of a tidally locked planet with elements of fantasy and magic."—Library Journal

I am anxiously awaiting the conclusion!

I love a good story and this tale is well worth the wait! The floating ships kinda threw me off at first, considering the typenof era this story unfolds in; but I understand the creative and it works! Well worth it!

I didn’t want it to end!

Robust characters, a rich and vivid world with many layers, and a story that is ultimately compelling. Each time I had to pause, I was very eager to come back and hear more :) I am loving this saga after these first two books!

Another fun trip with Rollins

I find the similarities between the historical flashbacks from SF and the storytelling in this series a welcome familiarity.

Great fantasy read!

Keeping the characters and the realms organized requires concentration with all of the aspects of the story related to an unknown world
