Europe’s first contact with the Pacific Northwest, and how it all went wrong.

Motivated by the prospect of quick riches, explorers and merchants from around the world began a race to Nootka Sound. The details were laid out so clearly in Captain James Cook’s journal, and the premise sounded so simple: sail to the remote American coast, trade valuable furs for trinkets, then sell the furs in China at a huge profit. Unfortunately, the truth turned out to be far more complex. More than storms and hardship at sea, the traders faced two additional adversaries—the defiant people who resided there and the Spanish who claimed the same land as their own. Amid this tumultuous race for riches and military supremacy, four Wolves with their destiny tied to Nootka Sound—George Vancouver, James Colnett, Juan Francisco Bodega y Quadra and Mowachaht tyee Maquinna—battle forces destined to push the world to the brink of war. This second book in The Wolves of Nootka series follows these forces and the men behind them.
