Blood Bond — William W. Johnstone

Two friends -- one white and one Cheyenne -- must choose sides as frontier tensions built to the Battle of Little Bighorn in this historical Western.
 
Young Matt Bodine and Sam Two Wolves became blood brothers on the day the rancher's son saved the Native American boy's life. Beneath the Montana sky, Matt learned the ways of the Cheyenne from his friend. And as years passed, a legend grew of the Indian and the white man who rode together -- and who could draw killing iron with the best of them . . .
 
Now tensions are high in the territory thanks to Lone Dog and his renegades scalping settlers by the dozen. Meanwhile, greedy rancher Tom Thomas is recruiting an army of gunhawks to steal Indian land. And with General Custer and his men riding toward the Little Big Horn River, it seems Bodine and Two Wolves will have to choose sides. Because there will only be two kinds of folk in the battle that's brewing: the kind that kill and the kind that die.
