It's about the first encounter of the nomadic Dene people with Europeans in an imaginative reconstruction of John Franklins first map-making expedition in 181921 in what is now the Northwest Territories. At the heart of the novel is a love story between twenty-two-year-old midshipman Robert Hood, the Franklin expeditions artist, and a fifteen-year-old Yellowknife girl known to the British as Greenstockings.
