Product Description
Raven watches with his younger brother from the banks of the Susquehanna River as the enemy Mohawk war party heads north in several canoes with their captive, the white girl with the fiery hair, paddling hard in the last canoe. The Lenni - Lenape warrior and his brother have been tracking the war party to make sure they will not attack again…Meanwhile, the beautiful captive Tess tries to put out of her mind how these savages attacked their carriage, kidnapped her with her cousin Joselyn, and later murdered poor Jocelyn. When we get to the bend in the river, I will make my move, she thinks...Watching from the far bank of the river Raven chuckles, “I think she will jump, brother.” He cocks the trigger of his most prized possession, an English Brown Bess musket, and takes aim. “It will be fun to teach these dogs a lesson.”
