Silver Wing

by Cassie Edwards

In 1840, a young woman, bored by her monotonous existence at a convent school, stows away on a missionary ship with her priest and the bold young warrior Silver Wing. But a duplicitous servant of the priest arrives in the Indian village before them, causing distrust and outright hostility between the Indians and the white man. Hardening his heart towards the white man and his god, Silver Wing imprisons all the white visitors, except the naive young girl. Can she remain loyal to her upbringing, while her heart longs for the handsome brave who holds them captive?
