Set in the remote wilderness of Northern Canada, this adventure novel follows the lives of Hudson Bay Company traders and their interactions with Indigenous peoples. The protagonist, Ned Trent, arrives at Conjuror’s House-Fort Wawano, a remote outpost-and soon finds himself in conflict with the strict and powerful trader in charge, Galen Albret. The narrative explores themes of survival, loyalty, and moral dilemmas in a harsh and isolated environment. As tensions rise, the characters face life-changing decisions influenced by both the natural world and the rigid power dynamics of the trading post.
