"fine Legendary Warrior tale"
In 1895, Kali Wallace and her father come to Montana to
photograph Indians. However, the local tribe seems
uninterested in posing though one warrior Soaring Eagle
goes so far as to scorn the two whites. However, as
Soaring Eagle becomes better acquainted with the idealistic
naïve Kali, he finds to his disbelief he is quite attracted
to her. As they sleep apart, Soaring Eagle and Kali share the same
dream in which the spirit world marries them. She denies
it, but he is elated because he realizes that he loves
her. As Kali begins to accept the reality of the shared
dream, she knows she loves Soaring Eagle, but realizes
nothing can come of their relationship as she is a
globetrotting photographer and his people need him here in
Montana. The latest Karen Kay Legendary Warrior tale (see WAR
CLOUD'S PASSION and LONE ARROW'S PRIDE) is a fascinating
paranormal historical romance. Readers will find
fascinating the depths that Ms. Kay plunges her audience
into a close look at Indian spiritualism. Soaring Eagle is
a delightful male lead as he quickly changes from
antagonist to protagonist. On the other hand, it is
frustrating that the lead female spends much of the tale
in denial until a photograph persuades her to reconsider.
Still sub-genre fans will embrace this soaring novel. Harriet Klausner
