A wet-behind-the-ears youngster when he came west with the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, Zach Hannah will become a legend of courage, skill and honesty among other mountain men. To the Crow Indians he is a trusted friend and ally. To the Blackfoot he is their most hated foe. And to former friend Sean Devlin, who lusts after Zach's beloved wife Morning Sky, he is a rival to be destroyed.
The American Fur Company seeks to destroy the Rocky Mountain trappers who stand in the way of its scheme to monopolize the fur trade. With a hardbitten crew under his command and treacherous enemies shadowing his every move, Zach faces the most brutal brigade of hostile trappers ever to make the high country a killing ground.
