The story revolves around Virginia Albret, a young woman navigating her existence within a small settlement dominated by her father, Galen Albret, the powerful Factor of the region, who is feared and respected by all. The theme is steeped in the struggles of survival against nature, the traditions of trade, and the impending consequences of rivalry in this harsh environment. At the start of the novel, Virginia is introduced as she gazes out over the Northern wilderness, poignantly aware of her father's authority and the transient nature of the traders and Indians who pass through their settlement. As spring arrives, she eagerly awaits the return of a brigade from the wild, only to find herself intrigued by a stranger, Ned Trent, a Free Trader marked by his defiance against the monopolistic Company. The opening chapters establish tension as Virginia's sheltered world begins to unravel, revealing sinister undercurrents related to her father's ruthless policies and the dread surrounding the fate of traders like Trent, who are at risk of being condemned to the perilous "Long Traverse." Through vivid imagery and complex character dynamics, the narrative sets the stage for a captivating exploration of love, power, and survival in the North.
