In the midst of America's Civil War, the fighting in the mountains of the Northwest is between the white soldiers and the Indian tribes. An independent man with bonds in both worlds, Moses Calhoun finds himself caught between the opposing sides. If he is going to survive, he must rely on his skill in the mountains. If you love a Mountain Western so cold you need a blanket to read it, then grab your flintlock rifle and your possibles bag, and saddle up for this ride through the frozen Northwest. Make sure you've got plenty of powder and shot, because there will be blood on the mountain.

Survival comes hard in the frozen wilderness. When a gang of wanted men seeks refuge in the mountains, a bounty hunter enlists Moses Calhoun as a guide. One is driven by money; the other is driven by loyalty. But his decision to help the bounty hunter could cost Moses Calhoun everything he loves. If you enjoy Mountain Westerns where the limits of survival are tested against a man's will, then grab your possibles bag and your flintlock, and join the posse riding into the snow covered mountains. But watch your back, because there's sure to be Death in the Valley.

As the grizzly bear shakes off his winter slumber and sets out in search of food, the hunters also return to the valley seeking game. For the young, it's a season of learning how to survive in the wilderness and learning how to kill. Just as the mama bear teaches her young, Moses Calhoun takes his son to the valley to teach him survival. But when old enemies return to the hunting grounds, Moses Calhoun becomes their prey.
