Blackfeet Season

The legacy of America's Native Americans begins with Blackfeet Season. This award-winning nine-book historical romantic fiction series touches the hearts and souls of readers searching for a deep understanding of several tribes. It is a season of change for the Blackfeet. The air is crisp with the scents of fall and the coming winter. The tribe's shaman, Bunch of Lodges, is locked in political battle with its chief, Sleeps Too Long. The shaman's sons, Raven's Cry and Night Thunder, are rivals for the right to succeed him as spiritual leader. Complicating the issue--whether spirituality or a warrior's courage is the way to guide the tribe--are White Calf's visions. The young woman's dreams show the buffalo have left their traditional grazing lands. The Blackfeet must find them or they won't survive winter. White Calf sees a future when her people's land is no longer theirs, when white men have destroyed the buffalo and driven the Blackfeet from their ancestral lands. The tribe expects her to counsel them to follow either the shaman or the chief, but she doesn't know which path leads to a safe future. When she chooses to marry Raven's Cry instead of the shaman, the tribe is split in two. The chief's faction heads for warmer land while Bunch of Lodges leads his people on an ill-fated buffalo hunt. Aware that only unity will allow the tribe to survive, the shaman's sons and White Calf battle a blizzard while trying to rejoin their people. Their only guide is a spirit wolf who seems both menace and protector.
