"Native American historical romance"
In 1837 William and Mildred Daniel accompanied by their
five-year old child Tabitha sail on the paddleboat heading
to St. Louis on the Missouri River. However, fire breaks
out and the adult Daniels die with Tabtiha rescued by the
Crow. River Song and Chief Blue Thunder rename Tabitha
Talking Rain and raise her with love as if she was from
their seed. Thirteen years later, Assiniboine Chief Storm Rider visits
Blue Thunder on a quest for peace between the two tribes.
Storm Rider knows of the fierce warrior reputation of
Talking Rain, but that pales to the real person. When
Talking Rain tries to steal Storm Rider's horse, he
captures her. While he keeps her his prisoner, an
attraction between them surfaces. However, a snake in the
grass plans to destroy the fragile peace wrecking havoc on
these two tribes whose unity is symbolized by the love
between Talking Rain and Storm Rider. Though STORM RIDER contains the typical Cassie Edwards
background, the theme is somewhat different, as this is not
a novel of star-crossed lovers, but more of the prisoner-
warden variety. The story line is filled with a feel for
the era through mostly the eyes of the Native American
tribes as Ms. Edwards does what she is so good at providing
insight into a culture interwoven into her plot. Ms.
Edwards' innumerable fans will enjoy her latest nineteenth
century Indian romance as she once again gives sub-genre
readers what they want and more. Harriet Klausner
