For many Loyalists during the American War for Independence, the perilous journey to Canada is just the beginning of a long and arduous struggle to find a new home and a new life amid the upheavals of war and separation, death and privation. For Elisabeth Van Alen, it also means finding new strength and the will to survive in a new country. Married to Gerrit, an educated Mohawk warrior, she is filled with fears when he must go away shortly before the American rebels force her and her family out of their ancestral home.

Runa, alone, survives the massacre. But a traitorous mage has captured her king’s essence - his vital energy, linked to a long line of wolf-shifter rulers.

Her quest will fail unless she finds help, and the dark winter woods is deserted but for a small dog and a young soldier.
