Snowdrift: A Story of the Land of the Strong Cold

The north is calling, and Murdo MacFarlane will answer. A fur trader trapped in the merciless grip of a Canadian winter, Murdo dreams of gold in the untamed Klondike, where fortunes are made and men are lost in equal measure. His father-in-law Molaire warns him of the folly, the frost, the certainty of death waiting in those frozen hills. But Murdo has a wife, Margot, and dreams of something better than survival in a one-room cabin at the edge of the world. As the storm rages outside, he must choose: the safety of what he knows, or the glittering promise of the unknown. This is adventure fiction in its purest form, stripped of sentiment and rich with the raw reality of frontier life. Hendryx writes with the authority of a man who knows these frozen rivers and silver forests intimately, painting a landscape that is both beautiful and deadly. The characters breathe with the particular gravity of early 20th century American adventure writing: determined, stoic, driven by love and ambition in equal measure. Snowdrift is for readers who want to feel the cold in their bones and the weight of impossible choices.
