"A curse on your first-born son if you return." Loud Hawk's warning haunts Mary Shirley as she and her family arrive at Cooks Fort in Western Virginia in August 1776. She desires a fresh start and courtship with William McGuire. William dreams of raising fast horses in Kentucky with Mary by his side. But palisades of fear protect her heart and while he's risking his life on a dangerous mission, another man offers Mary a safe, comfortable life. When a vengeful shaman's lie endangers her and all she loves, Mary's warrior spirit awakens. Fear no longer has her heart captive, but the one she loves holds it forever.
