The Seats Of The Mighty

The British are in the midst of a war. The French have obtained the local Indians as allies. And in order for England to wrench Quebec away from French rule, they must win these terrible battles. . . .

Robert Moray was captured when the French took Fort Necessity, and he is now prisoner at the citadel. He must attempt to escape as well as save the lovely Mademoiselle Alixe Duvarny before the Seven Years' War reaches her home and destroys everything that she holds dear.
