The Last Winter

By: Sarah G. Bakersfield

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Colonial New York, 18th century. As the fires of revolution smolder and empires redraw their borders, one man steps off the map—vanishing into a winter no army dares follow.

Set in the snow-covered frontier between a fading British colony and sovereign Haudenosaunee lands, The Last Winter tells the story of a solitary figure seeking shelter from a world he no longer understands. His coat is frayed, the red beneath it fading. His past is filled with orders, regrets, and names he cannot speak aloud. But in the silence of snow and the warmth of distant fires, something else begins to stir—memory, meaning, and the fragile chance at reconciliation.

Told in lush, evocative prose, The Last Winter is a sweeping historical novel about exile, cultural crossroads, and the quiet courage it takes to remake a life. Rich with atmospheric detail and emotional depth, it immerses readers in a forgotten corner of 18th-century America—where war ends, but the human story continues.

Perfect for fans of introspective historical fiction, frontier narratives, and stories that explore identity, legacy, and the slow turning of the seasons.
