Publisher Description
War, drought, and a wildfire threatens the Cheyenne.
Summer, 1800.
There is no rain. Heat bakes the prairie. What little game remains is hunted by the Cheyenne and their enemies, the Pawnee. During a buffalo hunt that becomes a battle with Pawnee warriors, Grey Bear discovers that his joy in killing outweighs his need to provide for his hungry people while Lone Hawk understands that the Pawnee too are starving. At the same time Seeks Fire realizes that the brave she idolizes isn't the gentle soul she needs. Her friend, Touches the Wind, draws on newfound courage during an inferno that scorches the plains.
The tension between Grey Bear and Lone Hawk threatens to destroy the tribe. Can the love between a brave and a maiden save everyone?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Vella Munn (Blackfeet Season) recounts the travails of warriors Grey Bear and Lone Hawk in Cheyenne Summer. Drought plagues the land and food is scarce; the Cheyenne must compete with the rival Pawnee for food. Wildfires sweep across the land, adding to the danger and drama. Various romantic intrigues and power struggles play out against this backdrop especially the tense rivalry between Grey Bear and Lone Hawk over what is best for the tribe. This will interest only those who know the genre and are willing to tolerate dialogue along the lines of "Look into my eyes and see the eyes of your death."
