Publisher's summary

Dakota Territory, 1867. The O’Driscoll brothers have survived a Sioux massacre, but younger brother Michael is gravely wounded. The deserters are fleeing north with Tom’s lover, Sara, when they come upon a sheltering rock by a stream down off the Bozeman Trail. If there is game here, they may survive the winter.

The rock and the river become their safe place, and when spring comes, their paradise. But the world seeks its way to them, and even in paradise, human nature makes its own trouble.

In this follow-up to his acclaimed novel The Wolves of Eden, Kevin McCarthy tells a story of three very human characters battling to survive in a vast, beautiful, and unforgiving landscape...

Slow Burn Western Sequel Delivers!

Author Kevin McCarthy returns to the Dakota Territory with “The Wintering Place.” A strong follow-up to “Wolves of Eden.” The story follows the O’Driscoll brothers and their companion Sara as they try to survive a brutal landscape filled with wild animals and nefarious humankind. Rich in detail and pathos, the story is expertly narrated by Dermot Magennis.
