In the untamed heart of the Rocky Mountains, loyalty is forged in blood—and vengeance knows no bounds.
1831: The American West is a land of towering peaks, sacred traditions, and unyielding danger. For Habakkuk Hickey—Red Horse to the Blackfoot—and his brothers-in-arms, Newton “Good Heart” Martin and Claude “Sings Like The Hawk” Gramm, survival means more than trapping beaver. Bound by oath to their Blackfoot wives and kin, they’ve carved a life where honor and family reign supreme. But the shadows of betrayal loom close.
When a ghost from the past emerges—Pete McConnell, a renegade Irish trapper hellbent on slaughtering every Blackfoot soul—the fragile peace shatters. Known as Niniihkitosi (The Ghost), McConnell’s wrath leaves villages scorched and innocents butchered. With their wives pregnant and their alliances tested, Habakkuk and his comrades must ride into a storm of vengeance, where every step could be their last.
From the icy valleys of Montana to the treacherous rivers of Crow country, Wild and Untamed pulses with raw adventure, heart-stopping battles, and the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood. As settlers encroach and ancient rivalries ignite, the trio faces a harrowing the West they love is changing, and survival demands a price only the fearless can pay.
Answer the call of the wild. Dive into a saga where loyalty is tested, vengeance burns bright, and the line between savagery and salvation vanishes.

Really enjoyed this book. The characters were nice to get to know. If I could say anything bad it would be that I wish it would have been longer. I look forward to reading more books by this author!
This was another good read about the young lives of three good friends. I think there should be a bit more incidents considering where in the mountains they live
Leroy Peters continues the story of Habbukuk Hickey as he becomes a veteran in the fur trade and is assimilated into the Blackfoot tribe. Under the Blackfoot name of Redhorse, he encounters the usual mountain dangers with weather, terrain, racism, and greed. Peters tells the story focusing on the poignant aspects of the protagonist's relationship with his Blackfoot wife, her family, and his friends. I recommend this series to anyone interested in the fur trade era or in human relations on any level.
This was a well written story about a boy who comes from Ireland and is adopted into a Blackfoot indian tribe in the Montana territory. It tells of his many adventures and his changing life as he grows. There is plenty of action but so many names to keep track of. Otherwise it was a good tale and one I would recommend.
Book two continues the story of Habakkuk, Newton and Claude as they hunt down a vengeful trapper who is massacring entire Indian villages including women and children.
