About This Book
Set amid the violent outbreak following Pontiac’s assassination, the narrative follows frontier settlers and Native peoples as vengeance ignites a sweeping war across the Illinois country. A young woman, determined to protect her stubborn father, prepares defenses and arms herself, while a Peoria youth who aids her reports tracking and encounters with hostile Ojibwa and allied tribes. The plot traces raids, betrayals, flight to fortified posts, and encounters with fur-traders, alternating tense action scenes with moments of personal courage and the brutal consequences of cultural conflict and retributive violence on both communities.
