Nate Hunter was born half-Cheyenne and half-white and lives as a contented, ordinary ranch hand in 1860s Montana Territory. But his heritage draws him irrevocably into the rising conflict between the Indians and whites. He has learned expert tracking and hunting skills from his Cheyenne father, and this knowledge serves him well as he makes a daring escape from an Indian massacre, of which he is one of the only survivors, and flees into the mountains where he leads the lonely life of a fugitive sought by both of his peoples. Where once he felt loyalty to both sides, now everyone becomes an enemy, and he must rely on his keen senses and knowledge of the mountains to survive. Almost as challenging are his clashes with the strong-willed and attractive Tara Sinclair, member of a wealthy and prestigious family of landowners. As Nate's only contact with civilization, it is her help he must have and her intervention that sets off a battle between his two peoples, a fight in which he is forced to choose a side. When he is eventually called on to mediate peace negotiations, his questionable reputation with the United States Cavalry as well as the Indians' suspicions of him jeopardize his very life and the hopes of hundreds of white settlers who live in fear of the powerful Northern Cheyenne nation. Eagle Shadow is a riveting tale of passion and betrayal, and a dramatic and exciting portrayal of one man's personal conflict set against the backdrop of a beautiful but unforgiving frontier. .
