In a novel rich in historical detail, acclaimed author Eliot Pattison reconsiders the founding of America and explores how disenfranchised people of any age and place struggle to find justice; how conflicting cultures can be reconciled through compassion and tolerance; and ultimately how the natural world has its own morality. Exploring a frontier world shrouded in danger and defying death in a wilderness populated by European settlers, Indian shamans and mysterious scalping parties, Duncan, the exiled chief of his near-extinct scottish clan seeks justice.
