Bookroo's summary

In 1812, a white trapper's murder shakes a frontier community. A young Chippewa Indian finds himself at the center of suspicion. As tensions rise, can he prove his innocence, or will prejudice seal his fate? The truth lies hidden in a world where justice is as wild as the land itself.

The year is 1812. A white trapper is murdered. And a young Chippewa Indian stands accused.
