Defiance — Oliver Payne

1765. The terrible French and Indian War is over but underneath the fragile peace a new violence simmers. Near Fort Detroit a marauding outlaw band threatens to destroy the flourishing trading company of Owen and Ella Sutherland and their Indian allies. But Jubal Swain and his renegades are not the only threat. For the hungry needs of a westward-bound people cannot be denied, and Owen and his beloved Ella must meet the challenges of living in a dynamic young country that is growing more and more independent from Mother England.
