| Summary | "Conjuror's House: A Romance of the Free Forest" by Stewart Edward White is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the Northern wilderness, the story follows Virginia Albret, the daughter of a powerful trader, as she navigates her existence within a remote post called Conjuror's House. As the seasons change around her, she grapples with longing, the harsh realities of her environment, and the arrival of a mysterious young man, Ned Trent, who threatens to disrupt her carefully ordered life. At the start of the book, Virginia is introduced standing along the banks of a river, contemplating the relentless cycles of nature and her sheltered life at the post. The descriptions vividly depict the beauty of the Northern wilderness and the isolation of her surroundings, where only a few traders and Indigenous peoples venture. Her father, Galen Albret, is portrayed with authority as the ruler of this realm, and the tension grows when a stranger—Ned Trent—arrives in a canoe amid the excitement of the annual trading season. As Virginia's curiosity about this enigmatic man deepens, she is drawn into a world of intrigue, conflicting loyalties, and potential danger as she learns about the harsh consequences imposed on traders who defy the Company, which threatens Trent with a deadly fate known as "la Longue Traverse".
