THE OHIO VALLEY, 1785 - The Revolutionary War was over, but fierce conflict still raged between the Indians and the settlers for the rich Ohio Valley. Aidan Martin, a proud and strong young man, ventured deeper than most into the hatred that engulfed this new frontier wilderness. After witnessing the brutal torture and death of his family, he swore no other course but to avenge the evil done to them. With the help and teachings of Wetzel, the most feared man on the frontier and called 'Death Wind' by the Indians, Aidan relentlessly stalked the deep forest on a quest for revenge. Only the love of a woman and the friendship of Wetzel kept him from becoming like those he hunted...and taught him that love is stronger than hatred, and honor far greater than revenge.
