In 1759, British soldiers raid the Abenaki community of St. Francis, burning the village to the ground, shooting fourteen-year-old Saxso, and abducting his mother and sisters. The pitch-perfect narrator embarks on a dangerous journey to save his missing family members in this well-crafted novel of the French and Indian Wars. An author's note places events within their historical perspective.
