In a blizzard white-out on ice-covered, cliffside trails, Danny and Cloud feel the full force of the High Wild winter. They dare to journey to the mountaintop village of Evergreen with a precious, priceless cargo: three children. Carlo and Randy Goss and their comatose sister, Brionne, are the sole survivors of Tarmin, a village destroyed in a vermin swarm triggered by a rogue horse, and they desperately need help.
In a land where nature is linked in the telepathic "ambient," no event ever ends. The horror of Tarmin's annihilation is echoing across the mountains, drawing riderless, feral nighthorses and unknown predators - one of which is following, desiring, the children.
Worse, Evergreen greets Danny and the Goss kids not with sympathy but with greed. The swarm slaughtered Tarmin's population but left their property untouched, ready to be looted by Evergreen's miners and loggers. The property legally belongs to Carlo, Randy and Brionne ... if Danny can keep them alive through a long winter of threats and extortion.
Only Evergreen's riders - Ridley, Callie and their eight-year-old daughter, Jennie - and the nighthorses Slip, Shimmer and Rain realize that Evergreen faces a worse menace than avarice, that Danny Fisher hasn't told them the whole story...
Now something is coming from the Wild. Something powerful, intelligent and in love with madness wants the sleeping Brionne. And if she wakes, the secret in her subconscious, amplified by the human lust in snowbound Evergreen, could unleash a new flood of death.

Store description
I am not a professional bookseller or dealer. I'm a book lover and have been collecting books since the early 1950s, but now age and finances require transferring them into other hands who can appreciate them. For now, most sale books are in the horror, SF, fantasy, and mystery fiction categories. Many of these books were purchased from specialized dealers such as Gerry de la Ree and Robert Weinberg, others directly from publishers such as Donald M. Grant and Underwood-Miller. I corresponded with some authors, including August Derleth and Joseph Payne Brennan (I was on my way to visit Derleth in early July, 1971, when I learned that he had just died.) I plan to list additional items in horror/SF, crime fiction, the environment, geology, general fiction, topographic maps, artwork, and lots more. All items, including their condition, will be described as accurately as possible. I'm just getting started, so be patient and keep checking for more books and information.…
