The Frontiersman series ran for four books between 2015 and 2018, beginning with River of Blood. Set on the American frontier, the series follows a tough, self-reliant man who lives on the edge of civilization. Each book puts him in a different dangerous situation, from river country to the frozen wilderness.
The third book, The Darkest Winter, shifts the setting to a brutal cold-weather survival story that stands out from the other entries. J.A. Johnstone kept the series focused on the physical realities of frontier life: harsh weather, scarce food, and constant danger from both men and nature. At four books, The Frontiersman is a compact series that covers a lot of ground without overstaying its welcome.
