After losing her husband in the Rocky Mountain wilderness, young widow Joanna Watson is struggling to make
a new home for her five-year-old son, Samuel, in the little mountain town of Settler’s Fort. When she returns home
from work to find Samuel and the woman watching him missing—and the sheriff dead—she enlists a man she prays
has enough experience in this rugged country to help.

Isaac Bowen wants nothing more than a quiet, invisible life in these mountains, far away from the bad decisions
of his past. But he has a strong suspicion of who’s behind the kidnapping and murder, and if he’s right, he knows all
too well the evil they’re chasing.

As they press on against the elements, Joanna fights to hold on to hope, while Isaac knows a reckoning is coming.
They find encouragement in the tentative trust that grows between them, but whether it can withstand the danger and
coming confrontation is far from certain in this wild, unpredictable land.
