Description

“Full of history, danger, courage and raw survival, this compelling novel by acclaimed creator Joseph Bruchac is certain to have readers at the edge in their seat, begin to finish.” —The Dallas Morning News

Saxso is fourteen when the British attack his village. It’s 1759, and war is raging within the northeast between the British and the French, with the Abenaki people—Saxso’s people—by their side. Without enough warriors to defend their homes, Saxso’s village is burned to the ground. Many of us are killed, but some, including Saxso’s mother and two sisters, are taken hostage. Now it’s as much as Saxso, on his own, to track the raiders and bring his circle of relatives back home . . . before it’s too late.
