This epic journey is his last chance to start a new life.
After being cast out of his Blackfoot village for his kindness to the Nez Perce captives, Chogan travels west in search of meaning for his life. Meaning that doesnât require killing or torturing innocent people. Though the lovely face of TelĂpe, a Nez Perce woman, is imprinted on his heart, he avoids her village. She deserves a happy life with her husband and coming child.
With her husband dead and the birth of her babe imminent, TelĂpeâs reality looks nothing like she planned. Sheâs been forced to return to the village where she grew up and the chaos of her familyâs lodgeâwith all her boisterous younger brothers. She desperately desires to start a new life for herself and the babe growing within her, but she canât seem to climb above the mire of her past. When she stumbles into the brave whoâd shown her kindness during her captivity, something ignites within herâa new hope.
Choganâs determination to stay and help TelĂpe is thwarted by her peopleâs fear and hatred for his tribeâespecially since he was among last winterâs kidnappers. It doesnât matter that he did everything he could to keep her and her unborn child safe and comfortable during that awful event. But as a new predator threatens the safety of the village, Chogan determines to take down the massive wildcat thatâs already injured several childrenâincluding one of TelĂpeâs younger brothers. When the danger escalates, Chogan is faced with an impossible choice. No matter which option he chooses, his life will never be the sameânor that of the woman heâs come to love.
