Graham Davidson is running from grief—but what he finds is a love powerful enough to change everything.
In 1971, haunted by the loss of his siblings, Graham retreats to Yellowstone hoping its silence will quiet his own. But a vision quest at a sacred thermal spring sends him spiraling through time—into the unforgiving wilderness of 1871.
There, in the midst of the Hayden Expedition—America's first official survey of Yellowstone—Graham faces a landscape as raw and broken as he feels. Yet in the heart of this brutal beauty, he meets Makawee, a Crow woman whose quiet strength and deep understanding offer him something he never thought possible again: connection.
As the expedition pushes deeper into danger, and his bond with Makawee deepens, Graham must decide where he truly belongs. Can a man shattered by loss find healing in the past—or risk losing love once more by returning to the future?
