He’s known as the trapper and his family has a long history in these remote woods. Now it’s just him and the boy, and he’ll raise him in the world he knows, the forest, where threats take recognizable forms: harsh weather, peak predators, the encroachment of civilization at odds with their lifestyle. A tale told in captivating prose of wild living, where human skin is no boundary for either the beauty or cruelty of nature. After the arrival of a foreign presence, the forest in all its naked majesty becomes an arena for the dueling forces of life: joy and suffering, good and evil, compassion and vengeance. One fateful day their woodland life is violently broken—shouldn’t those guilty of such injustice be held to account? Though the forest is isolated, this may be a story of the wilderness existing within us all.

“Immortal North is as quiet as snow falling in a forest. Until it is not and then it is a cacophony of violence and sorrow. Less than 10% of my ratings are Five Stars, this one deserves it. ★★★★★”
—Lyn Graves, Goodreads, 1900 novels reviewed

“Part of Immortal North ripped my heart out and part of it held me close. The novel was atmospheric and stunning in its descriptions. Near the end I couldn’t stop. I highly recommend this powerfully moving story. It’s something you don’t want to miss. ★★★★★”
—Jennifer Pritchard, Kindles All The Way Down

“Stewart’s mastery of beautiful sentences matches William Gay and William Faulkner. His acrobatic sentences contain some of the best words and most heartfelt, perfectly spoken sentiments I’ve read. ★★★★★”
—Darrell Ingrum, Netgalley

“I just finished Immortal North and if I could rate it Ten Stars or higher, I would. The writing is spectacular. I will never forget this tale as long as I live. It resonates with me that much. ★★★★★”
—R.Z. Halleson, Author, Netgalley

“Immortal North requires an emotional investment from a reader, but if you are willing to give Stewart your time, he will give you a piece of the trapper’s and the boy’s hearts. And you will find by the midway point that you have given them all of yours. Very highly recommended. ★★★★★”
—Jamie Michele, Five Star Readers’ Favorite

“Immortal North is one of those classic works best savored slowly. I was so immersed in the wonders of the natural world and the mysteries of human love and existence that I wanted the story never to end. One of the finest examples of true literary fiction I have ever read.” ★★★★★
—Marcus Lynn Dean, Author, The Scream of an Eagle
