    About this ebook

    Hopelessly lost and in danger of freezing to death, three young boys fight for their very lives against a freak storm in the wilds of upper Michigan.

     

    What started on a lark as a journey of exploration takes an ominous turn, as they discover more than they ever bargained for. Both about secrets buried deep beneath the frozen ground, and hidden within themselves.

     

    This coming-of-age tale follows Nick LaBounty and his friends as they try to persevere their ill-timed expedition, and their own adolescent frailties. A hunting cabin hidden deep in the woods, the rumor of a lost trapper, and the lure of relics from the ancient past prove irresistible, and possibly fatal. 

    Through trials and tribulations, both physical and mental, the boys attempt to prove themselves to one another. Often with unexpected, and perhaps fatal, consequences.

      He was working in the garden of his cottage when Nicola walked past. Handsome, craggy, probably in his late 50s, like her, he was shovelling snow off the path between white-coated shrubs. ‘Hello!’ she called. ‘Lovely day, isn’t it?’ He stopped, glanc

      IT was more than an icicle. More like an icy boulder, oversized and murkily white, faceted like a cartoon jewel and, shortly, dripping. It had lurked beneath a low stone bridge at the bottom of the wood, where sycamore thickets bald for winter gave w
