"A gripping ride into frozen insanity." ~New York Times Bestselling Author Andra Watkins

 

How far could you go to survive? Whom could you sacrifice? 

 

Green Valley was once known for its fertile farming, picturesque mountains, and abundant wildlife. Now snow and ice cover all but the tallest homes. The only sounds are Maverick's boots clumping through the snowdrifts and the frigid wind hissing down the mountain. Even the beasts in the woods have gone utterly silent.

 

But the path forward is clear, especially for one emboldened by optimism. So Maverick keeps moving, trudging through the abandoned town toward the desolate tundra beyond the forest, marring the snow with his bloody footprints.

 

To leave is a risk. To stay might be suicide.

 

Either way, no one leaves these mountains alive.

 

"Insanely evocative writing…layered, twisted in all the best ways, and expertly written. I haven't been able to get it out of my head." ~Award-winning Author Beth Teliho
