In the rugged territory of the American Northwest, Skye Fargo wanders smack-dab into a centuries-long war between two rival English families. The cunning Carnover clan wants Fargo to help recover their family seal, which was lost years ago at the abandoned trading post of Fort Skykomish. If they can get it back, the Carnovers will obtain the title to an estate owned by their bitter enemies, the Adderstons.

But Fargo learns the hard way that, when you mix feuding families with power and passion, you can never get too many lies, too little loyalty, or too much blood...
