Description
Toward the Midnight Sun by Eoin Dempsey is an epic tale of adventure, suspense and romance set against the harsh backdrop of the Klondike gold rush. In 1897, Anna Denton embarks on a perilous journey to the Yukon in search of duty, not fortune.
Stranded in a lawless Alaskan town after her chaperones fall victim to local criminals, Anna is forced to rely on two childhood friends, Will and Silas, to escort her through treacherous terrain to Dawson City. As they navigate the unforgiving wilderness, Anna finds herself torn between her obligations to her family and her growing feelings for one of her companions.
As winter sets in, relations sour and the stakes grow deadly. With few trustworthy allies and a ruthless suitor waiting in Dawson City, Anna must confront the true dangers of the Klondike - both human and natural - in order to survive and discover her own path.
