This romance is deftly interwoven with American history for a pleasing story. It takes place during a time that few authors choose to write about -- the French and Indian War years.

When Lady Annie Campbell finds out that her uncle killed her mother, she tries to escape. However, her uncle throws her in prison for thievery, brands her with a "T" and sends her off to America to be an indentured servant (for 14 years). Three months after Annie is sold into servitude, their farm is attacked by Indians and Annie runs into the forest to evade the Indians intent on capturing or killing her. She runs into a band of Rangers who are doing reconnaissance. The leader, Major MacKinnon sees that she is about to be killed, or worse, and intercedes. This goes directly against his orders. When Iain gets back to headquarters, he is in serious trouble.

This is the beginning of an action-packed story. I felt some of Iain's heroics were beyond the possible; otherwise, it was a great novel.
