The Night-Born
eBook
(Shaf Digital Library April 16, 2016)
At the beginning of the second decade of the Twentieth Century, a couple of worn-out gold prospectors are swapping drinks and stories at a tavern in San Francisco. They made decent fortunes in the Alaska and Yukon gold rush, but the effort sucked most of the life out of them.
One by the name of Trefe than is 47, but, as he says, he looks ten years older. The weary fortune hunter remembers back to 1898, twelve years before, when he crossed the Canadian Rockies east of Alaska Territory, and much to his surprise, deep in the wild interior, he met a woman.
She was certainly no ordinary woman. No ordinary woman could have survived for years out there, a thousand miles from civilization. She was hunting and trapping and living free and independent where hardly any white man had ever gone, and the local natives respected and obeyed her.
Putting up at her camp for a few days, Trefe than learned all about her past, what brought her to the end of the known world, and what more she seeks from life. But is he up to the challenge.
