After her aunt’s death, Brigitte Marchal finds herself alone in Montreal. Desperate to flee a loathsome suitor, she disguises herself as a young man to travel west with a voyageurs’ brigade, hoping to find her long-absent, fur-trader father. But her inexperience and disguise don’t hide her for long.
Seasoned voyageur René Dufour yields to the unwelcome position of shielding Brigitte, but soon others are intrigued by the woman in their midst. Now keeping her safe while meeting his North West Company obligations—and honoring his family promises—may prove more disquieting to his heart than he imagined.
As Brigitte adjusts to life in the Lake Superior wilderness, she struggles to justify the faith she grew up in with the mysticism around her. Greater still, however, is the conflict her heart must settle over who to trust in this rugged, unfamiliar country, when her dependence upon René must reach its end.
