Mauled to death in her previous existence, Emily Alford wakes up right before corrupt magistrates strip her aristocratic clan of their wealth and banish them across the ocean. Her proud father possesses no wilderness knowledge, leaving her weeping mother and frail pregnant relative on the verge of freezing during their harsh northern exile.
Armed with memories from a brutal past life, Emily refuses to let starvation extinguish her lineage. She crafts hunting snares, braves frozen mountain forests, and trades cured meat with fellow outcasts, building an unshakeable trade outpost that makes tyrannical camp overseers bend to her authority.
