¨Peter MacRae er ganske ung, da hans far må gå under jorden, fordi han er eftersøgt for mord. Faren sender Peter til den lille by Five Fingers ved Lake Superior , hvor farens ven ejer et savværk, som Peter kan få arbejde ved.Da Peter ser den unge forældreløse pige Mona blive overfaldet af en ældre mand, viser han sit mod ved at tage kampen op mod overfaldsmanden. Fra det øjeblik er de to unge knyttet til hinanden for livet, men Peters prøvelser er langt fra slut. Gennem alle strabadserne bærer han imidlertid kærligheden og slægtskabet med naturen og vildmarken, som igen og igen truer med at få ham til at kappe båndet til Mona og menneskenes verden.James Oliver Curwood (1878-1927) var en amerikansk forfatter, der var kendt for at skrive action-adventureromaner. Efter en omtumlet skolegang arbejdede Curwood som reporter, da han i 1900 solgte sin første historie. I 1909 tog han på en rejse igennem Canadas vildmark, hvilket gav ham stof til adskillige af sine actionfyldte historier, blandt andet historierne om ulvehunden Kazan. Curwood døde i 1927, efter komplikationer i månederne efter han blev udsat for, hvad der formodes at have været et edderkoppebid.
