Being an Account from the Lost Papers of The Winters Family Ranch
For eight years the Winters family has worked hard to live down the nightmare of a bloody range war. Theirs is now a promising ranch on hard-won land in Wyoming's rugged Rockies.

Being an Account from the Lost Papers of The Winters Family Ranch
For eight years the Winters family has worked hard to live down the nightmare of a bloody range war. Theirs is now a promising ranch on hard-won land in Wyoming's rugged Rockies. But on the eve of the season's first snowstorm a stranger slips in, ripping open old wounds, and devolving their lives into a brutal struggle for survival.
Niall Winters returns from selling his fall herd to find his ranch a burned ruin, his Uncle Drift dead, his wife missing, and the blizzard covering any clues with a whole lot of snow. He heads into the raging maw of the storm determined to confront this demon from his past and salvage the remains of their shattered lives -- or die trying. But he has no idea of the horrors that await him.
