Medicine Creek — Charles G. West

The white-born, Cheyenne-raised warrior Little Wolf has left the warpath behind to create a prosperous life with his wife Rain Song. After years of war, his only wish is to live in peace. But when a renegade army slaughters his tribe and takes Rain Song captive, Little Wolf's dreams for peace are overrun by need for bloody vengeance.
