Book description
An astonishing and beautiful tale of a frontier scout who saves a
young Cheyenne girl from the prospect of rape and murder at the hands
of his own army. The favour is returned when the scout is saved by the
Cheyenne and given mercy, but when he falls in love with the girl he
saved he knows that the tribe will never allow them to be together.
They escape, but are forced to abandon their flight when they
encounter an omen telling them that she is pledged to another. This
frontier tale soon becomes a violent present day manhunt through the
Wild West.
