For twenty years Abe Williston flew all over the world.  Now, at the controls of a small airplane owned by Michael Redsky, he was headed back to Kenora, Ontario, returning to close friends he'd left behind as Native culture was being sacrificed on the whiteman's altar of bureaucracy.  Would there be something to keep him from leaving a second time?  The memories of forgotten friendships held no answers.

Set in simpler times against the background of Northwestern Ontario's Lake of the Woods, ALTAR and THRONE  explores the friendships between Natives and whites, tested by a world turning more complex as cultures collide.
