Napoleonic and American Wars are ending. England's Regency empire is expanding. Industrial Revolution is stirring social unrest.
Entitled Olivia Fairworth has run out of excuses to avoid family duty. Escape to British America opens up through a cryptic message. Exasperated Captain Wesley Bryson risks scandal. Wits and wills clash. Provoking pride and military ambition, they ally.
Travel with them into the Canadian frontier, on untamed rivers in a Voyageur trader canoe. Explore unbroken wilderness. Heed howling wolves and mocking geese. Overcome winter's isolation. Endure summer's pestilence.
Posture in military society against aggressive entrepreneurs and politicians. Make unlikely friendships with established settlers, fellow immigrants and indigenous neighbours. Share laughter and adventure. Settle disputes, before there was law. Face down death. Make a new life in a young country.
