Once the big doors are barred, the settlers hiding in the wilderness fort are supposed to be safe from attack.
Sure, the for tis small, food is scarce, and water is hard to come by. But the Chickamauga raiding parties are outside, the welcome faces of friends and neighbors are inside, and everyone is ready to band together against the ferocious Indian warriors until help arrives.
Except that some of the settlers don't trust the Logan boys, whose father fights on the side of the Indians. And they don't trust Chad and his family, who have given protection to the Logans when the rest of the group would have cast them out to die.
As the siege drags on, and hunger and thirst begin to take their toll, that mistrust becomes a fearful hatred that show more threatens to be the death of them all. show less
