This gripping story is part of a series but can be easily read as a standalone.

Helena was well grounded in survival, her husband had been a military man and they spent their time together walking and climbing the cold, icy, Alaskan trails, little did she know that her survival would soon be in question. Seventeen year old Traci Vance, had been trafficked, held captive, she was pale, undernourished with angry restraining marks on her wrists and ankles but, the trauma had rendered her mute.
