Conjuror's House

"Conjuror's House: A Romance of the Free Forest" by Stewart Edward White is the unexplained name of a trading post in the remote Canadian wilderness, located where the Moose River flows into Hudson Bay in northern Ontario. Here resides Virginia Albret, a young woman who has lived her entire life in this far-flung corner of the North. The isolation of the outpost invests her family's office with an authority far greater than a typical business. Her father is the only law in this land, and he rules his little kingdom with a stern hand.
