About The Author

Zak Wickham

Zak Wickham was born in the South East of England, on the Kent–Sussex border. He now lives in the Scottish Highlands with his husband.

Growing up, he was inspired by authors such as Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl, whose storytelling helped shape his early love of books. His fascination with the Titanic later sparked the idea for what was originally intended to be a standalone novel. However, as the story developed, it evolved into a full quadrilogy.

About the book

A Love Lost to History

Set aboard the Titanic, it follows George Fairfax and Paddy O’Brien, two men from different worlds whose unexpected meeting turns into a quiet, dangerous connection. In a time when such love could not exist openly, their bond grows in secrecy, shaped by longing, fear, and the weight of society. When disaster strikes, survival carries them forward, but the world that awaits them demands choices neither of them is ready to make.

This is not simply a story of tragedy, but of what happens after. Of love that cannot be lived freely, of silence that changes everything, and of the cost of choosing safety over truth. Emotionally restrained and deeply human, Beneath the Ice is a powerful exploration of forbidden love, loss, and the echoes it leaves behind.
