Bookroo's summary

In 1950, Steve and Liz Bailey venture into the Alaskan wilderness, arriving in the Eskimo village of Koyalik. With a friend missing and unsettling questions looming, their mission takes a turn when a team of huskies, led by the formidable Mik-Shrok, becomes their unexpected allies. As they navigate the harsh terrain, will they uncover the truth and find their friend, or will the wilderness claim them too? The stakes are high in this gripping tale of survival and faith.
