Sinossi

Winter out on the Minnesotan prairie in the 1880s tests the very souls of those who attempt to live and farm there. 
 
Christmastime usually means a celebration of light and warmth. But for some families, Christmastime means darkness and too much togetherness.
 
As a blizzard rages, forcing one family to stay indoors, that togetherness pushes them all to the breaking point. How will the return of light find them?
 
“On a Cold Winter’s Night”, a darker kind of Christmas story.

But when Cate vanishes while investigating a remote den, Malachi's worst fears materialize. Has the cult that defined his childhood now taken the woman he's falling for? With time running out, Malachi must confront his family's dark legacy before it claims another victim. 
Racing against time and battling human predators in the unforgiving wilderness, Malachi's steadfast faith becomes the guiding light Cate desperately needs. The forest that once offered sanctuary now conceals deadly secrets—and possibly the answers to questions he's spent a lifetime avoiding.
