Osage Dawn — Darrel Sparkman

On the northern Arkansas border of 1804, an Osage warrior and a young trapper pit wits and strength in a deadly battle only one can win. When Matt Crane left home to travel the far western lands, he didn't intend to be gone long. Four years later he returns to find his family dead, his hometown destroyed, and his sweetheart taken captive by Quick Killer, a vicious renegade Osage warrior with a score to settle.

Kidnapping the woman Matt loves is only the beginning of Quick Killer's plan as he seeks revenge upon Matt--the architect of his shame. What he fails to realize, though, is that he faces an adversary far more tenacious than he ever thought possible, --one that will take him to the very limit of his own will and endurance.

A fast-paced frontier adventure, Osage Dawn blends friendship, love, and raw adventure on the wild frontier where hearts were broken and history was made by men fighting for survival.
