In the early days of the American Pacific Northwest, small settlements dot the wilds of streams and dense woods. Isaac Evers, a community leader and former militiaman, has established a small colony on Whidbey Island. Though the area appears calmer than in the past, the northern indigenous clans still threaten the livelihood of Isaac’s growing family. While Isaac is away on expeditions, his wife Emmy tends to the many duties required of a property owner on Whidbey Island. Bold and assertive, Emmy has little time for the restraint of social mores. But as times on the island become more turbulent, her constitution and conviction are tested. Elsewhere, Haida native Anah-nawitka feels the rush of his first kill and the satisfying vengeance cast from his hand to the head of the invading white colonists. Basking in the praise from his tribemates, Anah starts down a violent path that will alter a great many lives. Meanwhile, the British and the U.S. Army are quietly grinding against each other following a boundary dispute, leaving men like Captain George Edward Pickett in a tight situation. In charge of the nearby Union fort, Pickett does his best to maintain his authority while he struggles with tragic events in his past. Weaving these story threads together into a powerful whole, Gerard LaSalle tells the story of an unforgettable American adventure.

Isaac Evers, guida della comunità ed ex combattente, ha fondato una piccola colonia a Whidbey Island. Altrove, l’indiano Anah-nawitka, della tribù degli Haida, prova il brivido del suo primo omicidio e sente scorrere nelle vene un desiderio di vendetta, che sazia tagliando la testa ai bianchi invasori. Esaltato dalla stima degli indiani del suo clan, Anah imbocca un sentiero di violenza che cambierà la vita di molte persone. Gar LaSalle intreccia queste trame dando vita a un romanzo vigoroso che narra un’indimenticabile avventura americana.
