Among the mighty mountain peaks of the great untamed Pacific Northwest, a man and a woman could dare to dream big dreams. Such a pair were frontiersman Cleve Bennett and his Cheyenne warrior wife, Second Son. Together they saw nature's majesty as few have ever seen it before or since. And; together they also saw – and were victims of – the savage brutality of man. Now a renegade band of fierce Chipewyans are looking for a new region to settle—and for potential slaves. Suddenly Second Son and her child Billy-Wolf must wage a desperate struggle for freedom and survival in the densely forested northland, where even Cleve may not be able to find them. But in their devotion to each other this frontier family will battle the worst of the forbidding wilds, and any tribe that threatens them.
