After escaping across the Atlantic Ocean, and deep within the wilderness of New France, they believe they are safe from a vengeful Marquis.They are not.Helmut Colbért is a notorious assassin, so brutal and merciless, he is called The Night Butcher by the Parisian gendarmeries. Invested with the power and authority of a Shérif by the King of France, he is sent in relentless pursuit. But Colbért is also possessed by an ancient evil, aided by something dark from a seven hundred year old legend. And he pursues Philippe Gerrard with a supernatural vengeance, even into the primitive wilderness, intent on killing the fur trader, his son, and everyone else he loves.This compelling sequel to The Ghost Eagle builds to a dramatic confrontation between the old world and the new, between good and evil. A vivid tale of adventure and love chronicled as England begins to lose territory to France in the first year of a war for control of the lands and natural wealth of North America
