About this book
In Quebec in the spring of 1687, Captain Daniel Menard watches Iroquois prisoners being sent to France while New France prepares for a campaign. Years of service on the frontier have taught him how closely French fortunes depend on diplomacy, trade and the decisions of the Five Nations. Samuel Merwin places this experienced soldier between obedience to his governor and doubts about a policy that may deepen the conflict.
The historical adventure brings public duty into contact with private feeling. Menard's affection for Mademoiselle St. Denis becomes entangled with a council speech about her cousin, Captain la Grange, whose treachery has angered the Onondagas. Father Claude urges him to consider the safety of the French rear guard, even at a personal cost.
