At the ragged edge of the American frontier, a wagon party sees salvation glinting just beyond the peaks. Forty miles more, and they will find their promised land. That is what the captain says. That is what hope demands.
But some crossings are not meant to be made.
Hidden among the snow-veiled passes lies Widow's Teeth - a place where ancient warnings are carved into stone, where the wind whistles two notes in the dark, and where old debts still hunger for payment. When the settlers pitch camp in a natural amphitheater of stone, believing themselves safe, they unknowingly step into a trap older than any map.
By morning, one of their own is gone.
As blizzards close the pass and unseen forces stir in the night, the survivors must confront a terrifying truth: not all dangers come from flesh and blood... and not every spirit that walks wishes to be returned.
Some gates were never meant to open.
Some spirals were never meant to be walked.
Told through the sharp eyes of Ida Mercer - herbalist, chronicler, and reluctant witness - Widow's Teeth is a chilling, atmospheric journey into isolation, survival, and the devouring hunger that waits in the thin spaces between worlds.
Perfect for fans of historical horror, supernatural thrillers, and cosmic dread, this is a story that will leave you questioning what lurks beyond the veil - and whether the quiet sky overhead is truly as empty as it seems.
Once you step onto the mountain, the ledger must be paid.
One way or another.
