    About this ebook

    After six years of bloody conflict the war between France and England was over and Canada had
    a new ruler, King George the third. But for Shingas the fight against the English was not finished
    and after witnessing the brutal murder of his warriors by a company of redcoats at fort Detroit,
    his desire for revenge burned like a fire in his heart. Meanwhile, two hundred miles to the east on
    an isolated farmstead, Esther an indentured servant, wooed by the prospect of being released
    from the shackles of servitude, agrees to marry the farmers eldest son, a simpleton, in exchange
    for her freedom. Unwittingly fate was to bring them together and on the day of her wedding
    Esther is abducted by the savage war-chief and taken as a captive back to his village. Befriended
    by an old squaw and a young French girl, a captive like herself, Esther accepts her plight and is
    quickly assimilated into her new life. All this changes when, seeing her bathing, Shingas forces
    himself on her. Horrified by this violation, when she is given the opportunity to escape she seizes
    her chance and together with the young French girl she makes her bid for freedom. But her hopes
    are quickly dashed when pursued by Shingas, she is captured and brought back to the village.
    Nine months later she gives birth to his child, a boy. With discontent growing among the tribes
    as the English settlements encroach ever deeper into their lands, Shingas leads an attack against
    an English fort and after killing all inside he burns it to the ground. Roused into action and
    determined to subdue this uprising and to punish those responsible, the English send an army
    under the command of Colonel Bouquet against them. And so deep in the wilderness at a place
    called Bushy Run, redskins and redcoats are joined in battle and in the space of a single day the
    fate of a nation is decided and so too is the fate of Esther and her child.

    Barry Cole

    I began writing by contributing stories and articles to the monthly magazines of two Native American charities. I then moved on to screenwriting after attending the London Screenwriters Workshop for two years. Since that time I have completed four feature length scripts and one short. Sadly, Hollywood did not come calling so I have now adapted three of my screenplays into novels and I am now working on a fourth.
