Summary
High above the verdant valleys, on the unforgiving slopes of the Blumlisalp, a chilling saga unfolds as Dr. Elias Thorne, a glaciologist haunted by the specter of his mentor's disappearance, is compelled to confront not only the mountain's formidable wrath but also the unaddressed fissures within his own family. Professor Alistair Finch, Elias's revered guide, vanished amidst a critical research expedition, taking with him data pivotal to averting an ecological disaster. The catalyst for this perilous return is Elias's estranged sister, Clara, an alpinist whose past recklessness carved a chasm between them. A cryptic signal from Finch's satellite phone ignites Clara's resolve, propelling her to insist on a rescue, her determination fueled by a potent cocktail of professional duty and a profound, unexpiated guilt stemming from a past mountaineering tragedy that irrevocably altered their family. Their ascent becomes an odyssey through a labyrinth of collapsing seracs, blinding whiteouts, and the ever-present menace of avalanches. Yet, the mountain's natural dangers are merely a prelude to a more insidious threat: evidence emerges of corporate espionage, revealing that Finch's critical findings are being suppressed by a ruthless entity. Sabotage, pursuit, and a desperate race against time define their ordeal, forcing Elias and Clara to mend their fractured bond, outwit human adversaries, and brave the very peaks that once claimed their kin, all to unearth a catastrophic truth before the Blumlisalp swallows them whole.
