Synopsis

Nathaniel was the son of a British officer befriended by Mohawk Indians in the savage Adirondack Mountain region of upstate New York. Raised at Fort Edward in the upper Hudson River valley, he learned of battling the French, Huron and the elements. When his father is ordered north to Lake George, Nathaniel decides it time to seek his own path. Only a few days away from Fort Edward, his world is turned upside down with Huron brutality, a forbidden love, and an Indian war chief who will sacrifice his own people to see Nathaniel dead. Nathaniel’s grueling ordeal of pursuing freedom for himself and others becomes intertwined in the conflict between the French and British fighting for control of the mountainous corridor connecting Canada and New York City. Driven by love and aided by his Mohawk friends, Nathaniel refuses to be denied his destiny.
