Sequel to "Awakening"
Robert, handsome half-breed apprentice cooper, travels to the Ohio Country with Nathaniel Morgan. Robert has loved Nathaniel since being apprenticed to him many years before. Robert's love is unreturned, as Nathaniel's heart belongs to another who has been left behind.
Robert is unwillingly sent as an interpreter with the British Army to inform the settlers and the Shawnee that King George will honor the Indians' claim to the land. Captured by the Shawnee, Robert comes to be loved by an Indian brave. Robert returns his love but only up to a point, as he is still held captive by his love for another man.
Can he let his love for Nathaniel go and give himself completely to Red Horse? Or will he forever live his life with a divided heart?
