Description
It’s 1855 in the Pacific Northwest, and hostility between
white settlers and native tribes is rising quickly, leading to deaths on both
sides. As tensions mount, young William Tidd joins Charles Eaton’s Rangers on a
mission to hunt down Chief Leschi of the Nisqually. If they can stop him, they
may be able to end the bloodshed before it gets worse . . . but not everyone
wants peace with the enemy. Is all-out war inevitable?
Through skirmishes, raids, close calls, and
betrayal—William’s assumptions, beliefs, courage, and friendships will all be
challenged in a few breakneck weeks.

Advance Praise
“Bond’s latest historical novel is a compelling and
indispensable addition to a lesser-known chapter in American history. Bond’s
fresh and engaging portrayal of the tragic clash of cultures in the Puget Sound
Indian Wars of 1855–56 not only confronts today’s cultural and racial tensions
but also provides hope for the future. Essential reading for every student of
American history.”
—Larry Faulk, Former Washington State Senator
“Readers won’t even realize they are learning true
history—wonderful for young adults, truly for any age. . . . Delightful book,
difficult to put down.”
