1730: As a French settlement perches precariously on the high
bluffs above the Mississippi River near the ceremonial heart of the
fading Natchez Indian empire, French soldiers have foolishly
demanded too much from their Natchez allies and turned their
friendship into deadly hatred. When war erupts, 17-year old Jaimie
Cooper finds his parents are gone and Camille Gaillard, daughter of
a French noble family, is being held captive by the Choctaw. Before
she can be sold to the highest bidder, Jaimie and Spotted Serpent
rescue her. Then Jaimie and Camille must navigate through Indian
lands alone until they meet Two Bears, an Indian trader and runaway
slave, who guides them to the Atlantic Ocean and colorful Charles
Town. From Charles Town, Camille's search for her family takes her
to Paris, Versailles and Brittany where she experiences both the
grandeur and hypocrisy of the nobility, all while longing to see
Jaimie again. Jaimie's efforts to take his inheritance land him on
the deck of a sailing ship manned by slaves where he learns the
humanity of his crew as they work together, sailing from Charles
Town to London, Africa and then France to rescue Camille again...if
those in pursuit of his ship don't find her first.
