Synopsis: A Comanche uprising plunges Jessie and Ki into a raging storm of blood and bullets!
A peace treaty is just a piece of paper as far as the white men and Comanches are concerned. Promises have been broken, and ruthless profiteers are selling Indian land to unsuspecting homesteaders. When Jessica Starbuck and Ki visit their friends, the Caldwells, on Indian territory, a small but violent Comanche attack is only the beginning. Fired by vengeful pride and blood-soaked fury, the Indians are gathering up forces—and preparing for a full-scale war.
