About This Book
The narrative opens with an account of a ravine called the Champ-Rouge, where a drunken massacre at a settler's feast left a missing Iroquois chief and a funerary mound that local tribes regard as haunted; recurring unexplained deaths later afflict the killers' descendants. Into this landscape arrive two outsiders — a young French marquis turned frontiersman and his imposing black companion — whose presence links personal adventure to the region's layered legends. The plot interweaves frontier travel, encounters with Indigenous traditions, lingering guilt and superstition, and the gradual unearthing of past violences that continue to shape present danger.
