Men fell to the deck screaming, but Edward could not hear them, for the blast had been deafening It is 1812 and Edward MacNeilas task is simple: escort Kate and Anne Kimmerling home to America, then travel to his uncleas cabin to wait out the war. But a vicious storm on Lake Erie leaves Edward and the girls shipwrecked on an island and caught in the midst of the conflict.
