Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Shroud of Ice by Sharon Krasny, the powerful sequel to Iceman Awakens. To complete Ötzi’s story, Krasny journeyed to Austria, climbed his mountain in a storm, and visited his resting place in Bolzano, Italy. Her mission: to give this extraordinary archaeological discovery not just a name, but a voice and a dignified narrative.
Ötzi the Iceman, frozen in a glacier for over 5,000 years, has transformed our understanding of history. His body and belongings pushed the Copper Era timeline back by a millennium, revealed ancient medical knowledge, and inspired scientific breakthroughs, from analyzing hemoglobin types to reconstructing his final hours through alpine flora. He has given us everything. In return, Krasny offers him a story, one that connects his life to ours through the lens of her fictional character, Gaspare.
Shroud of Ice is built on the belief that humanity transcends time. People are people. And not all who are dead are silent.
