Lance in the Fire

In the aftermath of the disastrous Battle of the Little Big Horn and General Custer's death, Jedidiah Bracket, revered among the Arapaho nation as Crow Killer, is summoned to Fort Bridger. He is shown a proposed treaty and reservation papers signed by the renowned General Crook and offered an under-the-table deal to ensure his Arapaho Nation will be given a reservation in their cherished Sweetwater Country of Wyoming rather than the hot arid hills of Oklahoma.

But this offer comes at a dangerously high cost and with a deadly twist.

Crow Killer must rescue Blue Feather, daughter of the great war chief Gall, from a ruthless Pawnee warrior who holds her captive, and ride hundreds of miles through treacherous enemy terrain to deliver the girl to her father in Sitting Bull's camp in the Canadian Mountains. In exchange, Chief Gall is expected to hand over Custer's saddlebags containing some mysterious papers. But will he?

Crow Killer stands to lose more than his life in this daring venture. While undertaking this quest, he learns that his own family and his beloved peaceful valley are being attacked by a disgraced Lance Bearer, who has sworn vengeance on Crow Killer's son.

With the fate of his family and the Arapaho nation hanging in the balance, Crow Killer braces himself for what promises to be his most dangerous adventure yet, and he vows that it will also be his last.
