520    "History reveals itself when, in the seventeenth century, 
       a Jesuit missionary ventures into the Canadian wilderness 
       in search of converts-the defining moment of first contact
       between radically different worlds. What unfolds over the 
       next several years is truly epic, constantly illuminating 
       and surprising, sometimes comic, always entrancing and 
       ultimately all too human in its tragic grandeur. 
       Christophe has been in the New World only a year when his 
       native guides abandon him to flee their Iroquois pursuers.
       A Huron warrior and elder named Bird soon takes him 
       prisoner, along with a young Iroquois girl, Snow Falls, 
       whose family he has just killed, and holds them captive in
       his massive village. Champlain's Iron People have only 
       recently begun trading with the Huron, who mistrust them 
       as well as this Crow who has now trespassed onto their 
       land; and her people, of course, have become the Huron's 
       greatest enemy. Putting both to death would resolve the 
       issue, but Bird sees Christophe as a potential envoy to 
       those in New France, and Snow Falls as a replacement for 
       his two daughters who were murdered by the Iroquois. The 
       relationships between these three are reshaped again and 
       again as life comes at them relentlessly: a dangerous 
       trading mission, friendly exchanges with allied tribes, 
       shocking victories and defeats in battle, and sicknesses 
       the likes of which no one has ever witnessed. The Orenda 
       traces a story of blood and hope, suspicion and trust, 
       hatred and love, that comes to a head when Jesuit and 
       Huron join together against the stupendous wrath of the 
       Iroquois, when everything that any of them has ever known 
       or believed faces nothing less than annihilation. A saga 
       nearly four hundred years old, it is also timeless and 
       eternal"--|cProvided by publisher.
