The novel follows Bright Dawn, a young Inuit woman who takes her father's place in the Alaska sled dog race from Anchorage to Nome. Her partner is Black Star, a half-wild dog she has raised and trained; together they face wolves, fogs, freezing winds and the solitude of the route, while she reflects on her future.

Recommended for young readers aged 12 to 15, especially fans of adventure, survival and sled dogs.
