Publisher Description
With epic sweep and breathtaking adventure, Sara Donati’s bestselling saga of an Early American family’s struggle for survival in the Northeast wilderness continues with the story of an indomitable woman and an unforgettable journey of redemption across a young nation threatened by the flames of war. The year is 1812 and Hannah Bonner has returned to her family’s mountain cabin in Paradise. But Nathaniel and Elizabeth Bonner can see that Hannah is not the same woman as when she left. For their daughter has come home without her husband and without her son…and with a story of loss and tragedy that she can’t bear to tell. Yet as Hannah resumes her duties as a gifted healer among the sick and needy, she finds that she is also slowly healing herself. Little does she realize that she is about to be called away to face her greatest challenge ever. As autumn approaches, news of the latest conflict with Britain finds the young men of Paradise—including eighteen-year-old Daniel Bonner—eager to take up arms. Against their better judgment, Nathaniel and Elizabeth must let him go, just as they must let his twin sister Lily, a stubborn beauty, pursue her independence in Montreal. But on the eve of the War of 1812, an unexpected guest arrives from Scotland: It is the Bonners’ distant cousin, the newly widowed Jennet Scott of Carryckcastle. Far from home, Lily and Jennet will each learn the price of pursuing their dreams and the possibility of true love. But it’s Hannah herself who must risk everything once more—this time to save Daniel, who’s been taken prisoner by the British. As the distant thunder of war threatens Paradise, Hannah may learn to live—and maybe love—again in one final act of courage, duty, and sacrifice. A gifted writer, a master storyteller, and a first-rate historian, Sara Donati has written a powerful, poignant, and movingly romantic novel that chronicles the lives and adventures of a family as compelling and unforgettable as any in American fiction.

"Another wonderful book in the "Into the Wilderness" series! This book delved into several different members of the family as well as different members of the Paradise community. Lots of different intertwined story lines. Can't wait to read the next one! We've got to find the Queen of Swords!"

" This is book 4 in the series. There are only 6 books! What am I going to do when I finish the last book? Oh, the agony! "
— Cecilia, 11/29/2013 -
" really 4.5 stars! excellent read with a big cliffhanger ending "
— Maribeth, 11/29/2013 -
" Well, I'd probably give this a 3 1/2 because I don't really like the character of Lily and a lot of this book focuses on her story. I always enjoy a strong protagonist like Elizabeth, and instead we have to put up with the story about whiny, self absorbed Lily. "
— Ann, 11/28/2013 -
" I think so far this may be the best yet!!! I really like the play of letters to describe some of the action and the characters development. This one includes all of the Major players and that too is amazing. "
— Cindy, 11/2/2013 -
" good continuation to the series, looking forward to the next one. "
— Tyra, 9/8/2013 -

" I really liked this book within the series but wish they had not skipped over pivotal break out from nut island scene. I feel like they should be made into series!! "
— Natty, 9/15/2012 -
" Finished #4 tonight - couldn't put it down either. I love this writer and her story set in upper New York in the early 1800's, a time of great turmoil with the British and sides taken. Hope to get book #5 tomorrow. "
— Mary, 5/11/2012 -

— Agnes, 4/15/2012 -
" I enjoyed following the Bonner women into this book. Loved Lily and her many spirited remarks and her courage. Hannah's story is so sad and yet i know she is do for some real love. I loved it!! Fast paced, new story line and new romance for the young Bonner women. "
— Leea, 3/6/2012 -
" Loved this book in the series... it recaptured the first two books (this is the 4th book)spirit very well....If you loved outlander, you'll like this series, it's less detailed, less intense, but still excellent in it's own right. "
