Raven in Amber — Patricia Simpson

IT ALL BEGAN WITH AN AMBER NECKLACE

From the moment she steps off the bus on the edge of Washington State's Nakalt Indian Reservation, Camille Avery is certain she's made a mistake. Maybe taking a leave of absence from her teaching job to illustrate her friend Barbara's book wasn't such a good idea after all. And to make matters worse, Barbara is nowhere to be found--not at the bus stop waiting for her, and not at her cabin either.

Barbara's disappearance is only the first of the mysteries awaiting Camille on the reservation. Who is the magnificent man who stands outside her door at night surrounded by wolves? Can the necklace she wears be the same one that appears in a Nakalt legend? And, most intriguing of all, why does her heart race at the sight of Kit Makinna? Breathtakingly handsome, Kit is a man whose education and experience cause him to regard the prophecies and beliefs of his forefathers as nonsense ... a man whose very destiny may be inexorably linked with Camille's.
