"An engaging Warriors of the Iroquois romance"
In 1755 Iroquois Confederacy Indian Black Eagle is hired
as a scout and guide to a small group near Lake George
during the French and Indian War. He is attracted to one
of the party Marissa Jameson who heads to a friend's home
for shelter. She finds her guide's tenderness quite
refreshing as she has not seen the same from her race.
Both know their desire is taboo, but neither can prevent
it from growing. On their trek north Marissa is the victim of a series of
accidents that Black Eagle believes is deliberate by
someone wanting her dead. He realizes his constant vigil
is not enough to keep her safe and he persuades her to run
away with him. As they run to the safety of his tribe,
her avaricious uncle who is also her guardian will not
stop at achieving his goal. BLACK EAGLE is an engaging Warriors of the Iroquois
romance that fans of Cassie Edwards will enjoy though Gen
Bailey's novel contains much more historical information
than the "Savage" tales. The lead couple is an
interesting pairing of forbidden love, but the focus of
the story line is the Iroquois Confederacy struggling to
survive as an independent nation while the French and
English war over who controls Upstate New York, New
England and Canada. Harriet Klausner
