Historical fiction at its' finest

In 1809 Spanish-held California Territory, cultures clash between the Chumash Indians and the invading Spaniards. One of the Indian chiefs, Black Wolf, watches in abject horror as the Spanish, in the name of their God, force the People to give up their religion in order to worship Christianity. Even with their submission, the Spanish use the natives as cheap slave labor. Even as he hates the Europeans, Black Wolf reluctantly finds himself attracted to Lucita Rodriguez, daughter of a vicious commandant. Lucita falls in love with the proud Indian leader. However, the Chumash have had enough and plan to revolt. It is up to Lucita and Black Wolf to find a way to stop the bloodshed yet find a place for the Chumas and Spanish cultures to thrive side by side. If they are successful against all odds, they can develop a permanent relationship of their own. Vella Munn is one of the best writers of Native American historical romances on the market today. Her latest tale, WIND WARRIOR, is a fats-paced, action packed thriller that showcases two wonderful star-crossed lovers. Though the Spaniards seem more like caricatures without any redeeming qualities, Ms. Munn's brilliant homage to the lost culture of the Chumash makes this a fabulous historical romance.
