New York frontier, 1760. Mercy Lytton, raised among the Mohawk and gifted with exceptional eyesight, is chosen to guide a dangerous British mission through contested country. The party is transporting stolen French gold, and every mile exposes it to enemy patrols, wilderness hazards and betrayal from within.
Elias Dubois, condemned as a traitor, is offered his life in exchange for joining the expedition, although the gold was taken from him in the first place. Mercy cannot determine which side he truly serves. Their attraction develops amid divided cultural loyalties and a conflict in which survival may depend upon trusting the person each has most reason to doubt.
