Wolf Sign: A Frontier Western Adventure
November, 1832. High in the Wind River Range, fur trapper Jonas Blackwood watches his two partners ride off with a season's fortune in beaver - and leave him afoot ahead of a killing storm. No working rifle. No food. No shelter. A range of mountains between him and any soul who doesn't already believe he's dead.
They didn't shoot him. They let the mountain do it. It was cleaner that way, and the company's paper would call it weather.
The mountain doesn't get its way.
With a knife, forty feet of cord, and everything a dead Crow healer ever taught him, Jonas sets out to do the one thing his partners never planned for - survive. A winter alone against frostbite, starvation, cold deep enough to split the trees at night, and a pack of seven wolves that works the same drainage he does and reads him as closely as he reads them.
Come spring, he walks out. And a man the whole country has entered in its books as dead finds he has a long, quiet account to settle.
Wolf Sign is the first novel in the Jonas Blackwood: Mountain Man series - a frontier Western of hard survival and harder patience, written close enough to the bone that you'll feel the cold. For readers of Lonesome Dove, The Revenant, and the mountain-man classics.
One man. One rifle. A wilderness that never forgives.
