About This Book

A young Alabamian reeling from romantic disappointment retreats into the Tallapoosa woods, where an encounter with a lone Shawnee chief revives his childhood adoption into a Native clan and draws him into frontier intrigue. Set amid the tense backdrop of 1812, the story interweaves a romantic triangle, cross-cultural loyalties, and episodes of wilderness suspense as the protagonist negotiates duty to friends, ties to his adopted people, and the violent possibilities of a borderland on the brink of war. Action-driven chapters alternate hunting and camp scenes with council-fire ritual, negotiation, and armed encounters, exploring identity, honor, and cultural collision.
