As enemy forces close around the Hutted Knoll, Joel's betrayal becomes unmistakable and Robert is taken prisoner, leaving the small garrison to fight a desperate struggle for the family and their home. Wyandotté finally acts on the resentment he has carried for years and kills Captain Willoughby, yet he also protects and assists Maud and Robert, revealing the contradictory mixture of vengeance, loyalty, and affection within him. After Maud learns both of Willoughby's death and the truth of her own parentage, the surviving family escapes the ruined settlement, Robert and Maud acknowledge their love, and the later reappearance of a baptized Wyandotté gives the story a melancholy conclusion shaped by guilt, reconciliation, loyalty, and loss.
