When historian Cassandra Evans takes a solo trip to the Black Hills, she expects to find echoes of the past-not become trapped inside it. One storm, one impossible lightning strike, and she awakens in 1866... on the eve of war. Among the Lakota people, trust must be earned-and danger lies everywhere. As Cassandra struggles to survive in a world where every word, every glance matters, a quiet friendship grows with Tokala, a wary warrior haunted by loss. But history is a river that cannot be easily changed-and as the storm of conflict draws closer, Cassandra must decide: can she remain a silent observer... or will her presence alter the course of lives forever? *I'm writing this story with great respect for Lakota history and culture. I'm not Indigenous, and if I get anything wrong, that's on me. I truly welcome feedback from Native readers as I learn.*

She was Daisy, a captive of war. He was Taabe, a son of the tribe. Fate bound them together... and love refused to let them part. When Daisy's family is destroyed in a bloody raid sparked by years of theft and betrayal, she is the sole survivor-taken captive by a warrior driven by rage. But when he delivers her to his tribe's leader as a claim for marriage, his actions are met with disgust. The leader, seeking to mend what blood has broken, gives Daisy instead to his heir-his young, reluctant son, Taabe. Taabe wants nothing to do with the pale-skinned stranger forced into his life. He vows that when he becomes leader, he will grant her freedom. Yet as the seasons change and survival binds them closer, Daisy's quiet strength and unyielding spirit begin to stir something in his guarded heart. In a land divided by vengeance and tradition, their bond will be tested by jealousy, war, and the heavy weight of duty. But in the end, only love will decide whether they remain prisoners of the past... or forge a future together. *if you liked the movie prey 2022 this story is inspired in Taabe the character from the movie,leading this story a little away from the movie's perspective but maintaining the essence of his character* *This work is written with deep respect for the Indigenous community.
