| Description: | Jeff Sharp, a proud and embittered former Confederate officer, is summoned by Secretary of State William H. Seward and offered a secret mission to Alaska—an assignment meant to help secure the territory for the United States before England can seize it. Torn between loyalty to the defeated South and the chance for adventure, Jeff accepts the post with the hidden intention of betraying the Union, unaware that the journey will challenge every conviction he carries.
