A gripping young-adult survival thriller by Michael Northrop. The story takes place aboard the luxury cruise ship Polaris, where a group of teenagers is enjoying what should be the trip of a lifetime.

Everything changes when they wake up to find that the ship is mysteriously adrift at sea—and every adult on board has vanished without explanation. With no captain, crew, or parents to guide them, the teenagers must figure out how to survive while trying to understand what happened.

As supplies begin to dwindle and tensions rise, the group faces fear, uncertainty, and growing dangers. Strange clues suggest that something catastrophic may have occurred beyond the ship itself, raising unsettling questions about the fate of the outside world.

Fast-paced and suspenseful, Polaris combines survival, mystery, and psychological tension. The novel keeps readers guessing while exploring leadership, trust, and how ordinary people react in extraordinary circumstances.
