About this listen
Morgan, an early settler is finding it hard to fit into their new community along with his wife and teenage daughter Suzie. And during his fortnightly visit into town, several miles away, he learns that it will only get harder as the winds of winter blow in upon them.
Travel with Morgan and his daughter into the sick society he did not suspect dwelled so close to them within these cold, lonely mountains. They soon discover that the "Allhallowseve" celebrations play an all-encompassing part in this new society, a part that may be too powerful for him and his family to overcome. Delve into the sinister past of the celebrations, if you dare. Follow this small mountain-dwelling family into the nightmare they never knew was upon them until it was too late.
Will they survive, or will they pass away into history like so many others before them?

The boy whose baby she now carries.

Christophe has been in the New World only a year when his native guides abandon him to flee their Iroquois pursuers. A Huron warrior and elder named Bird soon takes him prisoner, along with a young Iroquois girl, Snow Falls, whose family he has just killed, and holds them captive in his massive village. Champlain's Iron People have only recently begun trading with the Huron, who mistrust them as well as this Crow who has now trespassed onto their land; and her people, of course, have become the Huron's greatest enemy.

When 16-year-old Amanda Verner's family decides to move from their small mountain cabin to the vast prairie, she hopes it is her chance for a fresh start. She can leave behind the memory of the past winter; of her sickly ma giving birth to a baby sister who cries endlessly; of the terrifying visions she saw as her sanity began to slip, the victim of cabin fever; and, most of all, of the boy she has been secretly meeting with as a distraction from her pain. The boy whose baby she now carries.
