Adrift in the Ice-Fields

By winter moonlight, six sportsmen unload boats and decoys onto the frozen bars of St. Pierre Island. Beyond them, floes and icebergs drift like ghosts through the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

In the spring of 186-, the thaw brings a hunting party to Captain Lund’s remote island farm, where the harbors are still sealed beneath ice and the first wild geese are only scouts of the migrating flocks. Young Ben Davies sets out with Hughie Creamer, a resourceful sailor and shot, while their companions prepare for weeks on the ice. But these hunters must contend with more than cold and scarce birds: the shifting floes, dangerous shoals, and vast frozen sea make every outing a venture into the unknown. When the geese arrive, will the party’s skill and preparations be enough for what the ice holds?
