By Honor Bound is
a book about the pioneers and North West Mounted Police
who braved the rugged Canadian frontier in the early
1870's in an attempt to bring civilization and law to
a lawless territory. It centers around Hunter
Stone, a man obsessed by revenge upon the renegade Indian
who has stolen everything from him, including his beloved
wife, Betsy. Will Reena O'Donnel, a young missionary
to the Assiniboine Indians, nurture Stone's blinded
spirit back to life, as well as his broken body?
Will her love and faith in God spill over into Stone's
hardened heart as she grows to care for this wild, angry
man? Will joining the North West Mounted Police
provide an outlet for this vengeful young man, or will
it simply provide him with a convenient excuse to hunt
down the renegade, Red Wolf? Can Reena's faith
and prayers change the destructive path that Hunter
Stone has taken? This is a vivid book depicting
the wild life in the Canadian frontier. The characters
are rich with depth and the reader easily empathizes
with them. A good first book in this series.
Heart of Valor continues
the saga of the establishment of the North West Mounted
Police as they attempt to bring law and order to the
wild and rugged Canadian frontier. Battling the
destructive whiskey trade, Hunter Stone and Reena O'Donnel,
attempt to bring down the man who controls it.
Stone, a North West Mountie, travels the rugged terrain
in search of the whiskey smugglers. Reena, missionary
to the Blackfoot Nation, watches the destructive influence
of the whiskey on her Blackfoot tribe. Particularly
troublesome is one renegade, Dew Eagle, who teeters
on the brink of violence under the influence of the
polluting whiskey. Together, fighting the whiskey
trade, Stone and Reena grow closer together and passions
rise. Will they admit their growing love for one
another or do outside distractions strive to keep them
apart? A well-written novel on the real evils
experienced by the native Indians with the introduction
of whiskey. This novel takes the reader down a
trail of deep suspense as the characters struggle against
the true nature of evil on the rugged frontier. A good
read.
Bright Sword of
Justice continues in the Guardians of the North
tradition, following the trials of Hunter Stone, North
West Mountie, and Reena O'Donnel, missionary to the
Blackfoot indians. Stone follows the trail of
a violent gang which leads him directly to the Blackfoot
camp where Reena is living as a missionary. A
new missionary, Jack Sheffield, has also arrived at
this camp, and has developed strong feelings for Reena.
Will Jack's idealistic expectations lure Reena away
from Stone or will she remain true to her feelings for
the rugged Mountie? More chaos is added to the
situation when one of the dangerous outlaws turns out
to be Reena's younger brother, Liam. Will Stone
listen to Reena's pleas to set her brother free, or
will he remain steadfast and true to his commitment
to carrying out justice, even if it means losing his
love? Another great Canadian frontier book.
Between Earth and Sky sees
the characters of Guardians of the North face the destructive
path of General Custer and the Seventh Calvary as he
ventures close to the Canadian frontier in the Dakota
Territory. Will Custer's presence bring a destructive
Indian war between the Sioux and the Cheyenne, or will
the North West Mounted Police be able to keep the peace
in this hostile territory? Reena receives a telegram
from her injured uncle who has been serving as a scout
to General Custer, requesting her help in nursing him
back to health. Taking her very life into her
own hands in order to reach her Uncle, Reena embarks
on the voyage across the hostile lands with Hunter Stone,
Del Dekko, and missionary Jack Sheffield as her escort.
As a battle seems to be looming on the frontier, Jack
seeks out Chief Crazy Horse in an attempt to talk reason
and smother the building fury of the Indians.
Will they remain safe in General Custer's army, or will
they venture through hostile Indian territory in order
to make their way back home? Will God protect
these honorable people, or will they see destruction
before the novel ends? A suspenseful novel based
on the tensions between the Indian nations and with
the pioneers encroaching on the home of the Indian people.
The final novel in the Guardians
of the North series, Wings of Healing, details
the dangers of epidemics and the massive loss of life
due to primitive medicine on the frontier. Facing
a massive epidemic which claims the life of the town's
only physician, Reena O'Donnel must act as nurse as
the epidemic reaches her own Black foot tribe.
Many will lose their lives in this epidemic. How
will Reena fare? Adding to the tension, is the
recently decreed command from the new superintendent
of the North West Mounted Police decreeing the move
of all the Indians around the Mountie post of Fort Macleod
to reserves. This decree angers Hunter Stone and
leads to a serious confrontation between officers of
the North West Mounted Police. With all the sickness
and tension among the officers and Indians, will Reena
and Stone be able to keep their love alive? Where
will this final novel find this couple who has endured
so much together? Will their love and passion
for one another end in marriage or separation?
A fitting conclusion to the Guardians of the North series.
