About This Book
In a remote fur-trading region a young man’s arrival at an isolated post ignites rivalries, social intrigues, and a tentative romance with Colina Gaviller. Personal jealousies and clandestine plans culminate in violence and the framing of Nesis, followed by arrest, successive changes of jailers, and a contentious trial. The narrative traces the community’s shifting loyalties as friends and enemies maneuver for advantage, and it moves from everyday camp life and intimate encounters to legal confrontation and a final sequence of revenge and partial restoration of justice.
