Peter Sinclair's truck won't start. His phone is dead glass. And his sister is twelve hundred miles north, off the grid in the Yukon, waiting for a brother who swore he'd never leave her.
So he walks.
With only his oldest friend beside him, a hard old trapper who trusts nothing that runs on a battery, Peter sets out into a world gone feral. Raiders who hunt survivors like game. A starving wolf pack in a frozen draw. A river crossing that becomes a slaughter. And a calm, patient stranger who is always one step ahead, who knows Peter's name, his route, and exactly which of the two brutal stories about his sister is the lie.
Every mile is a fight. Every camp could be his last. And the closer Peter gets, the clearer it becomes that someone wants him to arrive, and someone wants him dead in the snow.
