In the wilds of Alaska, survival isn’t just about weathering the cold—it’s about choosing who you’ll become.

Sixteen-year-old Adam Belgarde didn’t choose his life. But when tragedy stole his parents and his older brother left behind a dangerous legacy, he had no choice but to take his younger brother and run.
With nowhere else to turn, he seeks refuge at an Alaskan horse ranch nestled in the Talkeetna Mountains.
