The era of border setting between the nation of Camden and its neighboring Maitland is long past. After nearly two centuries, just a single land dispute remains: Fort Colwyn, an insignificant island in the shared Bay of Fundy. So insignificant, in fact, that neither country ever cared to seriously stake its claim. But when a Maitlandish industry titan receives permission to use the island as an off-shore facility, a chain of events is set off which culminates in Fort Colwyn's final year of human settlement. A third-generation Colwynite struggles to envision life outside the only home she’s ever known. The ferryman’s daughter becomes an adult as the world of her childhood falls out of existence. A Maitlandish oil heiress attempts to reconcile her past with her past and with her future. Love, blame, memory, history. :: No love, no blame, no memory, no history.
