In the year 1746, after the armies of the Scottish Highlands
rebelling against the King of England were at last defeated at the
Battle of Culloden, the English government began a vicious campaign
of punishment and humiliation against the people of Scotland.
Hundreds of innocent men, women and children were summarily rounded
up and put to the sword. Faced with such brutality, many Scots were
forced to abandon their homeland and seek a new life on foreign
shores. Such was the decision of Jamie MacDonald, a young Scot
mourning the deaths of his father and brothers in the massacre at
Culloden Field. He and his mother embark on a dangerous journey to
find a better life in the New World. But tragedy and unforeseen
circumstance dog Jamie's path and he finds himself pressed into
service aboard a pirate ship commanded by a ruthless Spaniard-a man
with a past as dark as any on the wrong side of the law, but with
an allure Jamie cannot resist. When he finally reaches the New
World, Jamie is a changed man-one whose innocence has been replaced
with a keen sense of self-preservation and a determination to
survive-no matter what. his life becomes irrevocably entwined with
a Choctaw warrior-shaman-a man who had a vision of Jamie's coming.
Together they fight the elements and those who seek to destroy
them. The final battle will determine who will die and who will
prevail.
