Rowan Mercer died freezing outside the mansion of the family he had spent his life serving. His foster mother stole his warmth for her biological son. His foster family abandoned him. And the woman he loved chose another man. But death wasn't the end. Rowan awakens twenty days before the world is swallowed by a catastrophic polar collapse—with the memories of everything that happened before. This time, he refuses to beg. He remembers the winning lottery numbers, the coming disasters, the resources that will vanish, and the people who will become monsters when civilization freezes. With millions in his hands and twenty days on the clock, Rowan buys a massive estate and transforms it into an impenetrable fortress. He will stockpile food. He will prepare for the cold. And he will make the people who betrayed him watch him rise. But Rowan doesn't know one thing... **The apocalypse has changed—and something is coming with the ice.**
