Arctic Fire - Hardcover

by Brian L. Reece (Author)

Zoe Nichols came to Alaska to bury her past. It didn't work.

A damaged Marine Major haunted by survivor's guilt, Zoe is drowning in whiskey at a dead-end government job with the Bureau of Land Management. In the middle of nowhere, she's not looking for a fight. She's looking for oblivion.

But when a rigged land lottery sparks a war between a legacy homesteading family and a ruthless natural gas executive, Zoe is dragged into a conflict she wants no part of. Sebastian Fisher has built an empire by stepping on the throats of his enemies, and the Masons are the last obstacle on his path to a global energy monopoly.

When Fisher's mercenaries launch a brutal assault that leaves the valley stained with blood, the war becomes personal.

Outgunned, cut off from help, and betrayed by the law she swore to uphold, Zoe must become something more dangerous than a soldier. She must become a reckoning. Allied with Guwaii Stonefoot, a Haida survivor haunted by his own lost tribe, she will learn a hard truth: in the Alaskan wilderness, you don't outrun your past. You turn and face it with a gun in your hand.

Some wounds don't heal. They just stop bleeding.

In the far north, justice isn't found. It's taken.
