With the events of the past year freshly engraved in his mind,
Jacob Murray lies in wait, just a stone's throw from a French
outpost in the midst of the western Pennsylvania wilderness. Having
teamed up with the two young men who helped his wife escape her
Huron captors, he waits for any sign of Maggie or the French
merchant who purchased her. A straightforward plan for ambush soon
goes awry and Jacob and Joshua are separated from Maggie and
One-Ear; the latter pair heads towards Canada, the former for Fort
Duquesne. While Maggie's efforts to escape and avoid French
captivity lead to unexpected encounters with the native tribes of
New York and Canada, including the great Ottawa leader Pontiac,
Jacob himself is taken captive by the French. With Joshua's help,
he is able to escape, but life as a deserter is very dangerous,
especially when the British army is amassing nearby under the
watchful eye of Major General Edward Braddock. Jacob and Maggie
Murray long for their peaceful life on the homestead in
Pennsylvania, but with two great countries and their native allies
battling over the Ohio Valley, their wishes must remain
ungranted...at least for now."
