Frontier

Michael Smyth lands in the New World on an HBC ship and is ordered by Lord Benton to venture into the frontier in search of fur trader Declan Harp, the man responsible for the murder of Benton’s soldiers at a remote outpost.

While Douglas and Malcolm Brown negotiate a loan with wealthy Samuel Grant, their brother Cedric Brown kidnaps a Lake Walker boy as trade leverage; Emberly takes a big risk that puts her in Benton’s crosshairs.

After an unprovoked attack on their camp, Machk leads the Lake Walkers to retaliate against the Brown Brothers; Harp sets out to find the truth while tensions increase.

An unexpected arrival to Fort James puts Lord Benton and Chesterfield on edge; Emberly conspires to rid herself of a problem. Michael is shocked when he sees someone from his past in the Bay.

Harp travels to Montreal to do business with Elizabeth Carruthers; Michael and Sokanon arrive in Fort James to put their part of the plan in place; life has gone from bad to worse at the alehouse.

Michael digs the tunnel as Chesterfield conducts live drills; Emberly returns to Fort James; Elizabeth Carruthers comes face to face with Grant.
