Apacheria, 1880.
Tanayia is alone in the world. Her village destroyed and her people murdered
by a group of revolutionaries who now hold her hostage. A daring escape on the edge of Cochise’s
stronghold saves Tanayia’s life, but she discovers her ordeal is only
beginning.
Forced to live in a government run
boarding school, Tanayia is stripped of her identity. The headmistress is bent on destroying Tay,
but Jacob Five-Wounds stands in her way.
Jacob urges Tay to run away with him—but diphtheria strikes the
school. Now, Tanayia must make a choice,
a choice she knows may cost her both, Jacob and his love.
Editorial Review
“This well-researched novel is taunt with all the
tensions and passions of any tale in which the characters are trapped. That Sister Enid eventually gets her
comeuppance (and from a native doctor, too) is only just and satisfying, and an
epilogue tells of both the compromises and the triumphs of Tay’s marriage to
Jacob Five-Wounds (once a fellow inmate of the school.”
