Publisher's Note From the bestselling author of "Look Away" and "Until the End" comes a sweeping historical saga about the pivotal years before the American Revolution. From the shores of Lake Champion to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, the British and the French battle over the unclaimed territories of the West--and experience the fury and passion of war.
Industry Reviews "Vivid accounts of bloody engagements on New World battlefields where the fate of great empires was decided, and resonant depictions of the men at the sharp end of the bayonet--or tomahawk--make for a splendid period piece." Stasio
