About This Book

Two brothers set out into the frozen northern wilderness to recover a stolen black fox pelt and rescue their friend, following fresh sled and foot tracks through snow and ice. Their pursuit leads them across windless valleys, over crevasses, and into blizzards while they make campfires, read animal signs, and endure hunger and cold. Along the trail they encounter a trapper’s hut, a friendly Indigenous guide, and a mysterious adversary known as the Wolf, whose presence brings traps, nocturnal danger, and a violent clash. The chase tests their resourcefulness and loyalty and ends with a decisive confrontation that settles the theft and secures their comrade’s safety.
