About this item

Out of the dark, an alomost invisible shadow slips swiftly through the falling snow to the back door.  A glow in the window flickers and grows stronger...tongues of flame leap and dance ...the blaze speaks in cracks and pops, until its voice gradually becomes a ravenous, insatiable roar..The arrival of spring's first delicate blossoms promises relief from another cold and harsh winter deep in the heart of Alaskan widerness.  And with a gang of frisky half-grown Husky pups trailing at her heels, Jessie Arnold looks forward to a new season of grueling, yet exhilarating, training with her dogs on the blankets of snow that linger on into the summer.  But just as the harsh Alaskan wind can unexpectedly sting on even the most beautiful spring day, new horrors bring a chill to Jessie's seemingly peaceful home.
