Biography
In 1757, Morgan's grandson, John Black, and his Native friend Kanyenke are on their way to Brunswick, Black's uncle Stuart’s colony, as he has called for help. After exchanging attacks with Cherokee raiders and war camps, they attempt to arrange a peace settlement. When they reach the village, they are attacked by the British who capture the town. While planning a counter attack, they discover that John's uncle Stuart has been kidnapped; John concludes that the Circle of Ossus has returned. Kanyenke realizes that his sister, Nonahkee is in danger, too; but he is stunned to discover, after saving the Iroquois village in New England that she called home, that she and John were secretly in love. Afterwards Kanyenke consents to their love and joins John in taking down the Circle.

They fight with the French in the Seven Years' War. When Colonel Washington tells them that Warwick is a renegade, John agrees to track him down for the British. John leads his mercenaries and Washington's forces and destroy a Circle base in the Great Lakes. Warwick, the Circle's leader, is revealed to have killed Stuart, and flees to the western mountains. John and Kanyenke follow him, first earning the respect of the Great Plains tribes by gaining enormous amounts of experience from good deeds, then destroying a fortified Circle base in the mountains. They soon discover that Warwick and his soldiers have fled west, to act as a checkpoint for a Russian army. They realize that the Circle plans to capture British and French colonies and towns while their soldiers are at war with one another. With the help of some miners, they were able to bring down large rock bridges to stop the Russian large cannons from getting through. In the end John is shown setting up some dynamite. Warwick and several Circle soldiers approach him. Warwick attempts to kill John but when the Circle soldiers shoot at him, John dodges the bullets, jumps to the trigger, and pushes it, detonating the bridge, killing himself, the soldiers, and Warwick, and causing an avalanche. The avalanche buries the Russians. Kanyenke returns to his village, where he learns that his sister had given birth to John's son Nathaniel.

When ambushed by Mohawks, he and his nephew seek shelter with the Oneida tribe. The Oneida then help defeat the Mohawk and Seneca in the area. Upon returning to his village, Kanyenke and Nathiniel discover their home in ruins. The Hessians, who work for the British, have raided and captured many Iroquois, including Nonahkee, with the assistance of the Mohawk and Seneca. Nathaniel and Kanyenke proceed with Oneida support to liberate their tribespeople and Nonahkee.

Kanyenke decides to not take anymore interest in the American War of Independence and remains in his village with Nonahkee while Nathaniel leaves with a band of warriors to aid the Colonial cause.
