Summary

Donald MacTavish is the newly appointed head commissioner of the Hudson's Bay Company. This promotion infuriates MacTavish's rival Angus Fitzpatrick who had wanted the job. Fitzpatrick takes his anger and resentment out on MacTavish and then sets out to get MacTavish fired. On the other hand, Fitzpatrick accuses MacTavish of stealing furs that were actually stolen by a group of thieving traders led by Sergius. And to complicate matters, both MacTavish and Sergius are in love with Fitzpatrick's young daughter Jeanne! The book was also adapted into a 1919 Hollywood silent film whose prints are now lost.
Excerpt:
"Donald McTavish glared down into the heavy, ugly face of his superior—a face that concealed behind its mask of dignity emotions as potent and lasting as the northland that bred them. "I accuse you of nothing." Fitzpatrick pawed his white beard. "I only know that a great quantity of valuable furs, trapped in your district, have not been turned in to me here at the factory. It is to explain this discrepancy that I have called you down by dogs in the dead of winter..."
Francis William Sullivan was an author of western fiction.

    Goldest? Is that really you? Why - why, you are beautiful! a bewildered Esbri exclaimed. When you've been turned by a miscast spell into a golden frog, events can catch you, as they say, on the hop. And when those events mean the castle you're in is being attacked by a scary army of Thorn Warriors with slashing blades for branches, you may think you're about to croak your last. Can the Thorn Warriors be repelled from the freshly restored Ladybug Castle? Will the handsome Gypsy Warrior, Esbri, play a part in the defense, and claim the hand of Goldest, his shining Queen? Will peace reign, or will the sinister Theo, an evil monk full of ancient magicry, spread further unrest through the Kingdom of Thorns? Joanne Durda's second book in her trilogy offers excitement, sorcery, shapeshift and humor in its action-packed pages. Readers will be happy to know that a third volume is in preparation - but meanwhile, join Goldest and her friends on the castle ramparts!
