"A Tom Doherty Associates book."

Includes bibliographical references (p. [253]-254).

Gear concludes her Black Falcon trilogy (It Sleeps in Me; It Wakes in Me) with this erotic and violent historic thriller. Chieftess Sora of the Black Falcon Nation-a confederation of Native American tribes in the Florida Panhandle-is suspected of committing several murders while suffering mysterious seizures and has been banished from her village until she is healed. Her possessive ex-husband Flint and a powerful healer, Priest Strongheart, take Sora to a deserted ancient village where Strongheart hopes to cure the Chieftess. Flint's motives are more opaque, and Sora's healing plays out within a larger framework of treason among the Nation's tribes.
