About this book

Two college friends, Jack and Wynn, set out to canoe a remote river in northern Canada, expecting days of paddling, fishing, and conversation. A spreading wildfire transforms the journey, while a troubling encounter suggests that the danger is not only environmental. Their different temperaments shape how they respond as uncertainty gathers around them. The novel combines close attention to wilderness with a lean survival plot and an increasingly tense human mystery. Its moments of natural beauty sit beside the practical demands of navigation, trust, and making decisions far from help.
