Trial by Water Completed

In the rugged wilderness of the North, quiet bushman Jean Baptiste Chabrier lives in deep harmony with the wild river country. But peace shatters when he invites his charming friend, Les Walters, into his remote camp. Tall, blond, and quick with flattery, the sawyer soon catches the eye of Jean Baptiste’s young wife, Charlotte. Sensing the quiet drift of her affections, Jean Baptiste bears the sting of jealousy in silence, waiting for the inevitable moment of truth. When the trio embarks on a perilous canoe journey down the churning rapids of Assin-nebah, the roiling waters become the ultimate proving ground. Amid treacherous rocks and deafening spray, loyalties are tested against nature’s merciless fury. Tense, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, this gripping tale explores the fragile bonds of marriage, jealousy, and the raw instinct for survival in the untamed wilderness.
