Savage Plains — David William Ross

Strong passions enflame a nation racing relentlessly toward war. Slaves smuggled across the dangerous Missouri border seek freedom in bloody Kansas, their deadly pursuit bringing guerilla warfare to an already violent West. Terror spreads like wildfire across a troubled land.

And on the frontier, the powerful Comanche-Kiowa tribes stand, fearsome and proud, to battle the white invaders to the death.

The Sadler family's fight to save a group of slaves has made them fugitives--driving three brothers and a young wife from one conflagration into another. And in the raging frontier fires engulfing settler and tribe, the Sadlers' true destiny awaits them. For here they must suffer and learn...or here they will surely die.
