THE SPANISH ARE IN THE LAND AGAIN. This time they've come to stay. Zia's life in the pueblo of her people will never be the same. Zia would face an enemy's sword to protect her infant son, but she learns her battle to save him requires more than physical courage. Her attraction to the Spanish conquistador leads to the most difficult choice of her life. Is his love worth abandoning her religion, her culture, and her very identity? Owls swooped from the trees. Coyotes prowled the canyons. Under the same starry sky, the people of Kotyit rested, their brown adobe village washed silver and gray in the moonlight. In a room on the upper terrace, Zia cuddled her baby closer against the autumn chill, his sweet breath warming her cheek. She stretched her arm across the blanket where her husband should be sleeping, missing his warmth and the smell of his skin. TapanAshka and the other men followed the elk, the bear, and the deer to fill the storerooms for the winter. |
