When Miranda O'Shea uncovers the perfectly preserved body of the legendary Plague of the North, it's the find of her career. But someone else wants it, and a break-in at the lab sends the climate controls haywire, nearly killing her aging father.
Miranda returns from the hospital to find her specimen thawed, and as she scrambles to reset the temperature controls, he draws an anguished breath. His first breath in more than 900 years.
