Fort Amity

A vivid portrait of a world caught between the clang of muskets and the quiet yearning of young hearts, this novel opens on the bustling shores of a North‑American fort where soldiers, travelers, and hopeful lovers converge. The narrative introduces Ensign John à Cleeve, a disciplined officer whose sense of duty is suddenly stirred by an unexpected attraction, setting the stage for a story where honor and affection wrestle for supremacy.

Through richly described landscapes—forests that echo with the distant chatter of steamers, lakes rimmed by bustling towns, and the lingering presence of Indigenous scouts—the author weaves a tapestry of camaraderie forged in schoolrooms and rekindled on the battlefield. As old schoolmates reunite and their sons embark on new adventures, the tale promises a nuanced exploration of loyalty, friendship, and the delicate balance between personal desire and the demands of service.
