Synopsis
ELKA BARELY REMEMBERS a time before she knew Trapper. She was just seven years old, wandering lost and hungry in the wilderness, when the solitary hunter took her in. In the years since then, he s taught her how to survive in this desolate land where civilization has been destroyed and men are at the mercy of the elements and each other.
But the man Elka thought she knew has been harboring a terrible secret. He s a killer. A monster. And now that Elka knows the truth, she may be his next victim.
Armed with nothing but her knife and the hard lessons Trapper s drilled into her, Elka flees into the frozen north in search of her real parents. But judging by the trail of blood dogging her footsteps, she hasn t left Trapper behind and he won t be letting his little girl go without a fight. If she s going to survive, Elka will have to turn and confront not just him, but the truth about the dark road she s been set on.
The Wolf Road is an intimate cat-and-mouse tale of revenge and redemption, played out against a vast, unforgiving landscape told by an indomitable young heroine fighting to escape her past and rejoin humanity.

Synopsis
An indomitable young woman fights to escape her past and rejoin humanity in an intimate cat-and-mouse tale of revenge and redemption, from the author of The Origin of Iris "A white-knuckle trip through a gritty, frightening, and all-too-plausible postapocalypse."--Paul Tremblay, author of The Pallbearers Club
Elka barely remembers a time before she knew Trapper. She was just seven years old, wandering lost and hungry in the wilderness, when the solitary hunter took her in. In the years since then, he's taught her how to survive in this desolate land where civilization has been destroyed and men are at the mercy of the elements and each other.
But the man Elka thought she knew has been harboring a terrible, monstrous secret. And now that she knows the truth, she may be his next victim.
But Trapper's taught her far too well. Elka, too, is a predator, and she's going to fight and survive--no matter what the cost.
