Elizabeth and Nathaniel Bonner have settled into their life together at the edge of the New York wilderness in the winter of 1794. Soon word reaches them that Nathaniel's father has been arrested by crown officials in British Canada. Nathaniel sets out, determined to see his father freed. Instead, Nathaniel is imprisoned and finds himself in danger of being hanged as a spy. Elizabeth soon discovers that freeing Nathaniel will take every ounce of her courage and inventiveness. Torn apart, the Bonners must embark on another voyage...this time to the heart of Scotland where a wealthy Earl claims kinship with Nathaniel's father. With this journey, a whole new world opens up to Nathaniel and Elizabeth - and a destiny they could never have imagined awaits them. "Better buy some midnight oil, for this hugely satisfying novel is a page-turner." (Orlando Sentinel)

"I am really enjoying this series! If you enjoyed Diana Gabaldon at all these are up your alley, minus the time traveling. I love the bits of information on the Indian's that lived in the northern new york area, makes me want to delve into learning all of that again. "

" This is book 2 of a series based on the children of the characters of The Last of the Mohicans. I know the characters, so I enjoyed reading this book. It's really long, which is the kind of story I like to read/listen to in the car. "
— Lvolk, 5/19/2011" Not quite as good as Into the Wilderness, but still a good read. Love the characters, and I'll definitely be continuing with the series. "

— Janette, 3/17/2011" Almost as good as the first one! I missed the people from Paradise though! "
— Meg, 3/4/2011" Better than the first one, but seriously, they're totally Outlander. I probably only like these because I liked Outlander so much and she hasn't written another one yet. "
— Hendo, 3/4/2011" Another great book! This book moves the location of the action but is still so good! Can't wait to continue on with this series. "
— Jodi, 2/14/2011" Book 2 in the series. I really liked the first one, and was not disappointed with this one, either. It is very reminiscent of Diana Gabaldon's series, without the supernatural aspect, however. "
— Amy, 1/15/2011" This sequel to Into the Wilderness was a little more unbelievable than the first book, but I really enjoyed it all the same and am looking forward to reading the third book in the series. "
