Deep in the Appalachian winter, a brutal ambush at a remote mountain shelter leaves two young hikers dead. For Emma Fisher and her friend Summer, surviving the attack is only the beginning. Somewhere in the whiteout, a man named Jedediah follows them—a man bound to Emma’s past by something she believed had long ago been buried.
Jake McKellar travels the frozen ridges alone, carrying a compass and the memory of a brother he has spent years searching for. When he discovers the aftermath of the ambush, he finds himself responsible for two strangers whose lives have become entangled with his own. To lead them down the mountain, he must confront a man who has come to finish what he started.
Set against the unforgiving winter wilderness of the Great Smoky Mountains, Heart & Bone is a story of survival, grief, and the unlikely bonds formed when everything else has been stripped away. A novel of violence and tenderness, of the past reaching into the present, and of what remains when survival alone is no longer enough. $1.99 on Kindle.
