Treachery and murder lead Jamie and Tanaka on the trail of a deranged deserter intent on personal revenge amid a looming war between the Choctaws and the English.

As the English army advances on the Choctaw nation, Jamie and Tanaka enlist the aid of a young Lieutenant, William McBride who is sympathetic to the Choctaw’s cause. Their quest for peace is thwarted by Captain John Davenport who orders their arrest then leads his men into a crushing defeat at the hands of the Choctaws. Court martialed for desertion under fire, Davenport seeks revenge on all those he holds responsible for his fall from grace.

As all these forces come together for the final struggle to survive, Jamie and Tanaka face their greatest challenge yet. Is their will strong enough to overcome those who seek to destroy them, and can their love protect them from the hazards of the wilderness itself?
REVIEW:

This is the final book in this trilogy. The first thing I would say is that these books absolutely must be read in sequential order to be able to follow the saga. I realized my mistake when I began reading this book. So of course, I went back and read the other two before returning to this one and the events, characters and storyline fit into place and made much more sense to me. Which brings up my first point: these stories flow seamlessly from one book to the other. The storylines, characters, plots all fit together to blend perfectly to form this wonderful story.

This is a historical, set in the time period of the war between the Choctaw Nation and the English. Now, I’m not at all a fan of historical books but I decided to read it because Bowie’s writing has always been superb and it didn’t disappoint. The story weaves to tell Jamie and Tanaka’s story is absolutely wonderful. The villainous Davenport’s character was so vividly written that I wanted to reach into the story and take him out myself. Surprisingly, I enjoyed this book even though it was a historical. This is due to the talent this author has in spinning a story and his characters. As with the previous two books, the adventure, danger and excitement flows in this book.

The characters are brilliantly written and the storylines, fighting scenes, the loss of lives, the anger, sadness, love and lust, the descriptions of land and such were so vividly written, you can actually visualize the scenery.

This book is extremely well written but that’s what I’ve always experienced when reading this author’s work. The words practically leaps off the page and wraps itself around you. You immerse yourself in his stories and that’s a great experience for a reader to have when reading a book.

I definitely recommend this trilogy.
