About This Book

Set amid the violent aftermath of frontier conflict, the novel follows a young woman whose fortunes become entangled with soldiers, lovers, and a stern community that soon suspects her of witchcraft. The narrative alternates public spectacle and private drama, moving through raids, mutinies, imprisonment, clandestine woodland meetings, and a dramatic legal ordeal. Long separations, rivalries, and political maneuvering test loyalties and reveal shifting alliances. Across years of danger and changing authority, characters grapple with love, betrayal, survival, and the pressures of superstition and rigid social order.
