COLD ARCHIVE A decade after the eruption of Mount Toba shrouded the planet in ash, Earth has become a frozen graveyard. The sun is pale, the oceans are silent, and what remains of humanity endures in scattered outposts beneath skies that rarely clear. Hailee McCrae is one of the few still willing to venture out into what is left of the world. Her only ally is Sugar, a military-grade android whose cold logic and unwavering protection are sometimes all that stand between her and oblivion. But there are others moving through the storm, men and machines who worship the darkness and will kill to claim what she's carrying. To survive, Hailee must face the frozen wilderness, the ghosts of the old world, and the machine that might know her better than she knows herself. From the ruins of the Pacific Northwest to the haunted silence of collapsed cities, COLD ARCHIVE traces a journey through desolation and fragile hope. It is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi survival story about endurance, memory, and the cost of keeping humanity alive when the world no longer remembers how.
