London Oxford was prepared to do whatever it took to get to the promised land, but can he get his family safely across the border? Young Abner Oxford has kept something of his mother's. Something else needs what he has. It's patient, can be quite disarming, and has a monstrous, fierce appetite. Abner and his family, along with a caravan of sleighs, are moving north. The frigid cold and the blinding white have made the adults slow, weary, and numb. Very few questioned the drag marks in the snow or the mounting number of disappearances. Abner's father felt like that-until it woke him up. Fans of The Terror, the Fisherman, and El Norte will be hooked.
