Out of the Depths of Darkness

In the wild heart of the Dakota Territories, souls scarred by loss are about to collide-and change each other's fates forever.

After the death of her pioneer parents, fiercely independent Angelica Barnes is determined to honor their legacy by running the family ranch alone, no matter the cost. Though she dreams of travel and adventure, she cannot abandon the land she loves. But when a freak accident leaves her injured and miles from help, her isolation turns dangerous.

Luke Wells, a former Civil War surgeon haunted by the horrors of battle, has come west to repay a debt before disappearing from civilization altogether. Accompanied only by a mysterious white wolf, Luke stumbles upon Angelica's ranch and finds her in desperate need of care. However, he is needed elsewhere.

Yet the Dakota frontier hides threats more sinister than storms and solitude. As a dark figure sets his sights on Angelica, the ranch becomes a battleground where courage, resilience, and survival are put to the ultimate test. With time running out and Luke far away, Angelica must stand her ground-or lose everything she's fought for. A gripping saga of danger, redemption, and hope, set against the raw beauty of the wildest of frontiers.
