Chronicle As Books Queen of Swords (Wilderness #5)
It is the late summer of 1814, and Hannah Bonner and her half brother Luke have spent more than a year searching the islands of the Caribbean for Luke's wife and the man who abducted her. But Jennet's rescue, so long in coming, is not the resolution they'd hoped for. In the spring she had given birth to Luke's son, and in the summer Jennet had found herself compelled to surrender the infant to a stranger in the hope of keeping him safe. To claim the child, Hannah, Luke, and Jennet must journey first to Pensacola. There they learn a great deal about the family that has the baby. The Poiterins are a very rich, very powerful Creole family, totally without scruple. The matriarch of the family has left Pensacola for New Orleans and taken the child she now claims as her great-grandson with her. New Orleans is a city on the brink of war, a city where prejudice thrives and where Hannah, half Mohawk, must tread softly. Careful plans are made as the Bonners set out to find and reclaim young Nathaniel Bonner. Plans that go terribly awry, isolating them from each other in a dangerous city at the worst of times. Sure that all is lost, and sick unto death, Hannah finds herself in the care of a family and a friend from her past, Dr. Paul de Guise Savard dit Saint-dâ-Uzet. It is Dr. Savard and his wife who save Hannah's life, but Dr. Savard's half brother who offers her real hope. Jean-Benoit Savard, the great-grandson of French settlers, slaves, and Choctaw and Seminole Indians, is the one man who knows the city well enough to engineer the miracle that will reunite the Bonners and send them home to Lake in the Clouds. With Ben Savard's guidance, allies are drawn from every segment of New Orleans's population and from Andrew Jackson's army, now pouring into the city in preparation for what will be the last major battle of the War of 1812.

Liked this one the least in the series, didn't care for the setting or the heavy storyline of slavery and all its abhorrent evils. 3.5 starsIn this series of "Into The Wilderness" this was my favorite book next to the first one in the series. The second book almost made me stop reading but I persisted. I have loved the diversity of characters and the experience of different locations in the late l700's and up to the French and Indian war that started in 1812. I like getting into a series where I can live with characters for awhile and this suited that need.If you come to the end of the "Outlander " books by Diana Gabaldon this will
I have to give this 5 stars. It has everything in historical fiction I love. The wilderness doctor, love affairs, the worst of humanity and the hardscrabble of the times. On to the last in the series...Book #6.
💞5 WONDERFUL STARS💞My opinion of Sara Donati and her storytelling gets higher as I continue with the series...this book was absolutely fantastic!!! I have been devouring the series and I've been unable to put any of the books down. There are some plot holes in this one, but it is so well writen and there's sooo much angst and adventure that at the end I didn't care that I did not get the "why" of some events. I'm totally in love with the characters💖 and I cannot wait to find out what they are up
I have been devouring the Into the Wilderness series and I've been unable to put any of the books down! This one was harder to get into than the others but once I was past the first few chapters, I loved it as much as the other books. I enjoyed all the information and details about New Orleans (it's now on my list of places to visit) although I was surprised that former slaves had slaves! Sure, there were a lot of plot holes and things I just couldn't explain but all in all, I love the
After recently reading 'The Gilded Hour', I decided to go back and re-read Wilderness Books 4-5 (the 2 I haven't got nearly memorized).I still do not entirely understand why Poiterin wanted Jennet's baby so much, and why he couldn't leave the Bonners be when they returned for the baby in New Orleans. I get that he is somewhat afraid of his grandmother, but why did he even bring the baby to her in the first place? I still really do not understand what was in it for him the whole time.I did love
Best one of the series so far.
