The story takes place in the late 1600's in what is now known as Pennsylvania. At the time there were many wars between the Iroquois and the Leni-Lenape Indians. As the settlers were starting to move westward, they added to the conflict over land. Being the sole survivor of an attack on his tribe, a young Iroquois warrior named Golden Eye seeks revenge against the white men that raided his village. During his quest, he discovers a young Indian woman from the Leni-Lenape tribe named Little Eagle, shot and lying by the river bank. Unaware that she is Leni-Lenape, he helps her survive her wounds. She was shot while trying to escape some white men that took her away from her tribe a few years earlier. Against all odds, the two of them start a new settlement open to all that wish to live in peace.
