"Rakeheart, Wyoming, is a town with troubles. Murders. Violence. Deceit. Into its crosscurrents comes Kane, a troubleshooter sent west to learn why ex-army officer Jared Wilkins was killed. Kane encounters hostility at every turn. The rancher's widow emerges as his prime suspect even as the townspeople who ask him to become sheriff make it clear they are playing a deceitful game. As Kane tries to impose law and order on a town that has its own purposes at heart, he struggles to plumb the depths of Rachel Wilkins, who holds tightly to her own secrets. When the violence erupts, he is left with no allies except Rachel as they wage one fiery battle for the future, and the soul, of Rakeheart"--

"From the Little Bighorn to Boston, Fox Running learned the hard way the world was his enemy. As a boy, he lost his Northern Cheyenne home to a blood feud. The army scattered his people, who rejected him when he tried to return. On the wild frontier, he lost his way and found it on a day of tragedy. Sent to an Indian school in the East, he refused to renounce who and what he was. After a daring escape to the Plains, those who hate him learn how fast he is with his guns. Stalked by newspaper men who dubbed him The Cheyenne Kid, he finds acceptance with the Lakota until hatred for an Indian who will not bow leads to a showdown"--

Spirit Walker tells of a time when the spirits walked with the living, resistance never stopped, and dreams lived when the dreamers lay cold. After the exile of the Northern Cheyenne from their homeland, spirit warriors arose in defiance: Rides a Crow, a Spirit Walker who vowed to return to her home even if she were the only one left alive to make the journey; Hunter, an outcast who walked outside the laws of men; Talks to Horses, a spirit horse who has roamed the Plains; and Dead Face, a warrior scarred for life. From the squalor of a reservation and to the race for freedom with death riding on their shoulders, they refuse to admit defeat, even at the point of death.

"Emotions run high in Wyoming's Buffalo Horn Valley, where dreams of a ranching empire collide with fierce passions to fight back no matter what the cost"--Amazon.com.
