Dylan Campbell came from the East and was swept up in the westward movement. A would-be priest, he signed up with Nor’West Company to bring God to the Indians. But as Dylan traveled across the mighty Saskatchewan in the company of a mystical wanderer called the Druid, he saw acts of violence, carnality, and evil he could never have imagined. At Fort Augustus a beautiful woman taught Dylan about love and lust and betrayal. And in his quest toward the legendary High Missouri, Dylan learned from the frontier what it meant to brawl and scratch for your life with body and soul.
