A gripping historical thriller about a white man's travels to the centre of the 'wilderness' to deal with 'uncivilized' people, and a journey into the dark soul of the white man himself. Written in the vein of Marion Eames' 'The Secret Room' and Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness', the 17th-century setting eerily mirrors issues in our own times.
