But when winter comes, there’s nothing to stop them from crossing the ice. Then homebody Peter puts the camp in danger by naively allowing a stranger to come ashore and he’s forced to leave the community of Wranglestone.

One that forces the pair to question everything they’ve ever known.","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47334960955628,"sku":"9781788951210","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/26041143482824.jpg?v=1772052203"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/darren-charlton.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
