Aprašymas

No longer a spoiled teenager, 15-year-old Nigel Blackthorn will need his new gained strength and training to survive being kidnapped by the Bannocks

It's Nigel's third year with Pascal, and the wily mule-train leader heads North in the Spring. Long, grueling days and countless painful lessons have changed the whiny Nigel and often placed the former preacher's son in danger. Considered an adult by the Cheyenne, he anglicized his Cheyenne name to be called "Blackthorn Wolfe" or Blackie to his friends.

When Pascal arranges a trade truce with the northern Bannock, they kidnap Blackie, offering to trade him for a keg of gun powder and lead-items Pascal refuses to sell or trade.

"I'll meet you at Fort Hall in two-weeks," Blackie calls as the Bannocks carry him away.

Can Blackie escape the Bannocks before they realize Pascal won't trade powder for him?

How will he survive alone, unarmed, and on foot to reach Fort Hall, 200-miles away?

Has the canny old trader prepared Blackie for his ultimate test - staying alive in the untamed mountain frontier?
