War of Shadows - A Chronicle of Blood and Empire (Book Two)
North America, 1722.
The frontier burns.
In the deep forests of Maine, war spreads along the rivers and settlements of the northern colonies. Farms are raided in the night. Families vanish into the wilderness. Rumors of war parties move faster than the rivers themselves.
Captain Nathaniel Broome, a hardened colonial ranger, leads dangerous patrols along the Kennebec River, hunting enemies who know the forest better than any soldier. But the deeper Broome travels into the wilderness, the more he begins to question what this brutal frontier war is truly becoming.
Far to the north, the Abenaki mission village of Norridgewock prepares for the inevitable. Jesuit missionary Father Sébastien Rale refuses to abandon the people he has lived among for decades, even as English soldiers march toward the settlement determined to destroy it.
Among the chaos of raids and retaliation, survivors struggle to endure. Warriors fight for their homeland. Settlers search desperately for missing children. And in the shadows of the forest, vengeance grows on both sides.
When colonial forces launch their final assault on Norridgewock, the battle will reshape the future of the frontier - but it will not end the war.
Because the wilderness remembers everything.
And the shadows of vengeance never truly disappear.
A gripping historical frontier novel inspired by the real events of Dummer's War, blending the sweeping historical storytelling of Bernard Cornwell and Ken Follett with the stark frontier realism of Cormac McCarthy.
Perfect for readers of historical war fiction, frontier epics, and early American colonial history.
