They fell in love while living with the Bannock people in the vast wilderness of the Pacific Northwest territory of the New World in the winter of 1799 and after a year of hard travelling, Madeleine and Ryder Benedict finally arrive in England. But England is on the brink of war with France. And Madeleine and Ryder soon realize they face a war of their own as they endure the hatred and bitterness of the Benedict family.

Madeleiné has reached St Louis but has lingered for four months waiting on news of Ryder, hoping that he is still alive but when she receives a letter from London, shattering all her hopes, she makes the decision to leave St Louis and head into the wild, in the hope of reaching the Bannock before the winter of 1805.
