Description
The conflict between the British Empire and the American colonies erupts in all-out war. Rebels and loyalists to the British Crown compete for an alliance with the Six Nations of the Iroquois, the most powerful Indian confederation, boasting a constitution hundreds of years old. As the thunder of war approaches, old bonds are broken, friends and families are split by betrayal, and this mixed community is riven by hatred and resentment. In response, Mohawk war chief Joseph Brant sets off on a restless journey that takes him from New York to the salons of Georgian London at the heart of the British Empire. This historical novel explores the complex relationships between Native Americans and colonists in 18th-century America, and the devastating consequences of war and betrayal.
