Conjuror's House, a Romance of the Free Forest
'Conjuror's House, a Romance of the Free Forest' Summary
Ned Trent, a young, charismatic free trader, operates outside the rigid control of the Hudson Bay Company, led by the formidable Factor Galen Albret. Albret, determined to maintain the Company's monopoly, subjects those who defy him to a perilous punishment: "La Longue Traverse," a journey through the unforgiving wilderness without supplies, from which few return. Ned's defiance attracts the attention of Albret's daughter, Virginia, who finds herself drawn to Ned's spirit. Their burgeoning relationship unfolds amidst the backdrop of Ned's ongoing struggle against the Company's authority. Through daring escapes, perilous encounters with the wilderness, and the looming threat of Albret's retribution, Ned and Virginia forge a bond that challenges societal norms and the very foundations of power in the Canadian frontier. As their love blossoms amidst the dangers of the wild, their choices will have profound consequences for their own fates and the future of the Free Forest.Book Details
