About this listen

Immerse yourself in a journey through early 18th century America with this richly detailed historical fiction saga set amidst the backdrop of the New York and the American frontier. This riveting narrative chronicles the adventures of Otetiani (Master Ormerod), a dispossessed English nobleman forced to brave the untamed wilderness of a youthful America in search of solace, redemption, and maybe even, a touch of mystic.

The Journey Begins:

Otetiani's tale begins with his exile from England and the blissful, yet fleeting, solace he found in the New World. After the tragic loss of his beloved wife Marjory to a fever epidemic in New York, he finds solace in the company of old friends – the Seneca warrior Annalla and the robust Dutch frontiersman Marcus Corlaer. Strongly persuaded by Master Burnet, the Governor of the time, he embarks on a daring expedition, in hope that it will help him reconcile with his grief.

Moments of Triumph and Betrayal:

Advancing through dense forests and perilous rivers, our intrepid trio wage their way through indigenous territories, engage in diplomatic dynamics with various Native American tribes, and narrowly evade Franco-Indigenous conflicts. Triumph and betrayal walk hand in hand as they encounter numerous challenges, from perilous portages to fractious interactions with the Andaste tribal camp.

A Mélange of Cultures:

Situated at the crossroads of culture and spirituality, their journey is accentuated with poignant spiritual encounters, centered around their rescue of Père Hyacinthe, a Jesuit priest. The resultant fusion of Indigenous spirituality and Christian beliefs imparts a profound depth to the narrative, setting the stage for an arresting dialogue.

The Return:

Finally, the odyssey concludes with their return to the bustling life of New York. While Annalla reclaims his place of honor within his tribe, Otetiani contends with the drastically altered governance of his home. Amid trials and tribulations, he fights to reestablish himself, culminating in a moment of joy as he discovers newfound love after a long ordeal.

In Conclusion:

A remarkable exploration of human spirit's resilience and adaptability, this novel confronts the themes of loss, colonial expansion, spiritual quests, and cultural exchange in a riveting historical setting. A must-read for anyone passionate about American history, frontiers exploration or engaging character-driven narratives.
