To avenge his murdered friend, a young fur trapper will risk everything After the Sioux attacked, Sad Sam found young Brian McCulloch in the ruins of the wagon train, surrounded by the bodies of his slaughtered family. He took the frightened child under his wing, and for years they were inseparable—hunting, wandering, and trapping beavers for fur in the frigid Montana wilderness.

Brian vows to avenge the man who was as close to a father as he will ever have. Tracking the outlaws means a long and dangerous journey, but with nothing left to lose, Brian wagers revenge will be worth the wait.

To avenge his friend and to prove himself a man, Brian needs to track down Grier...but the trail is long and cold, and the storms he must pass through are more violent than he could have ever expected.
