Cari
McCord will never forget when the handsome, half-breed Cheyenne
warrior rescued her from the blizzard that promised certain death.
She was just a child, and Silver Wolf, just a teen-ager then. But
their love bloomed on that fateful, wintry night. A love so strong,
it would transcend time, distance, and prejudice.
At
first, that love is in the form of a strong, pure friendship as Cari
and Silver Wolf spend endless time together. But that friendship is
soon threatened. Cari's mother, a bigoted, small-minded woman, who
hates Silver Wolf for the red blood that runs in his veins, takes
Cari to Philadelphia with her, in the hopes of distancing the pair.
With a heart as heavy as a cinder block, Cari has no choice but to
leave her beloved Silver Wolf behind.
On
the Wyoming plains, the future for the Cheyenne is tenebrous, at
best, as the white man encroaches evermore into their land. The
object of scorn, ridicule, and violence, the Cheyenne seek only to
be left in peace. But Silver Wolf knows peace can never reign when
hatred and prejudice lurk in the heart of the white man. The fact
that he's half white proves advantageous to Silver Wolf. He travels
east and attends college to learn and understand the ways of his
enemy. On their turf, Silver Wolf learns the extent of the white
man's cruelty, but he also encounters kindness and friendship in the
least likely of sources.
After
seven years, both Cari and Silver Wolf return home, and their
poignant reunion will leave you breathless. But the years have only
added tension to the already strained relationship between the white
man and the Cheyenne. Scheming ranchers, bigoted townsfolk, and
corrupt officials are just some of the colorful characters that add
depth and drama to this compelling story.
Ms.
Smith weaves a passionate, intricate tale in Dream Warrior
that is sure to enchant any romance reader regardless of preferred
sub-genre. The fast-paced plot and unexpected twists will keep you
turning the pages well into the night. The ending was as engrossing
and satisfying as the beginning. Ms. Smith is a master of her craft,
and that shines through in this wonderful book.
