Summary
From the bestselling author of White Rose, Black Forest comes a page-turning epic of adventure, suspense, and romance set against the rich and ruthless backdrop of the Klondike gold rush.
Seattle, 1897. Anna Denton is not like the other prospectors traveling to the Yukon on the promise of riches. It’s duty - not profit - that calls her into the wild unknown. With her family nearing financial ruin, Anna has agreed to marry Henry Bradwell, the wealthy King of the Klondike.
She meets Will and Silas, childhood friends, on the steamer north. After the ship docks in a lawless Alaska town, Anna’s chaperones run afoul of local criminals, leaving her stranded. Will and Silas agree to escort her the hundreds of treacherous miles to Dawson City - the gateway to the goldfields - and her betrothed, a man she doesn’t know.
Upon their arrival, Bradwell warmly welcomes them all. But as a brutal winter sets in, relations sour, and Anna is caught between the promise her family made to the power-hungry Bradwell and her feelings for Will. Anna and her companions soon find themselves in a deadly game where few can be trusted and where the greatest danger in the frozen wilderness of the Klondike is man himself.

Way better than expected
To be honest the first half was so boring and dreadful I had to speed up the narration to 3,5x at that point I thought I was going to hate the book. The first 50% of the book is their journey from Searle to Yukon territory, and despite the betrayal of her chaperones, the adventure into the unknown wild and treacherous journey, it was all very boring.
BUT, when it got to the 55% mark things really picked up. There was angst, tension, drama, power play, etc etc. The second half of the book was exciting, emotional and , sometimes beautiful too.
There is LGBT representation, and it was written in a beautiful way. There is also contemplation about women's role in society and how the native tribes were affected by all the development, etc.
It turned out to be a beautiful story with an improbable hea.
