At the turn of the 19th Century, Nations compete for supremacy on both land and sea. Fortunes are made and lost in the briefest of moments, by either the actions of armies and navies, or a single man. Born during these volatile times, Silas Scott is destined to journey from his native Scotland, into exile in France and then on to the Americans. He must reinvent himself again and again, to overcome events set into motion by cruel and jealous foes. Silas is constantly forced to flee, in search of security and a place he can call home. He discovers that there is no safety from the evil of men, even in the far reaches of the American West. Driven on by grief and the thirst for vengeance, Silas sets aside his faith in a God he feels has abandoned him and decides to become the hunter rather than the hunted. Follow Silas Scott as he searches for love, vengeance and redemption. Take the journey with him from the decks of the Black Witch, where privateers battle for silver and gold on the high seas, to the wilds of Tennessee, among the Cherokee, and then to the vast lands west of the Mississippi River, where men vie for the fortunes among the Native tribes.
