In the year 1753 a wagon caravan of labors on steep mountain paths is carrying supplies to, Fort Cumberland, the most remote outpost on the isolated English frontier. Seated on one of the wagons is Josh Cleveland, a twenty-year-old blacksmith.
Josh Cleveland was lured from the safety of his shop outside Baltimore by promise of a grant in Ohio on wilderness land where few white men had ever walked.
Stalled on a narrow mountain path, an arrow buries in the wagon seat where Josh Cleveland sits. It is the beginning of the bloody French and Indian War that sweeps Josh into a vortex of savage events.
Baker, a veteran frontiersman that Indians call Bloody Hand, teaches Josh how to survive in a wilderness where painted savages move as silent shadows of death.
While in a village of a powerful Algonquin tribe, Josh sees a white girl held prisoner by Watuma, a cruel warrior avoided by most people in the village. Baker cannot prevent Josh from trying to free the girl. Josh’s actions could cause an attack against Fort Cumberland by a thousand hostile warriors. Failure could cost him a brutal and agonizing death.
The Quest is a time when life was hard and could end with a swift blow of a tomahawk. Still, pioneers like Josh Cleveland over-come hostile threats to help forge a new nation. This romance historical fiction novel is part of that story of international intrigue and local heroism.
