Her parents, and now her spouse are dead, so a despondent Jessie Pilson heads to Tombstone, Arizona Territory, to live with her cousin Reginald. Along the trek, outlaws attack her stage, but Sioux Chief Thunder Horse saves her life. He insures she makes it to town safely, though he knows better than to escort her all the way.

The arrogant Reginald demands the beautiful Jessie serve as his trophy hostess to impress his affluent friends. With seemingly no choices she accepts her role of being on display. Meanwhile she misses the kind Thunder Horse and soon sneaks out to be with him. When Reginald finds out how she humiliates him with a savage, he decides to incarcerate his relative, allowing her no freedom; her only hope to escape the gilded cage resides with Thunder Horse.

Cassie Edwards always writes a strong Indian romance that her fans devour; her latest endeavor, SAVAGE ARROWS will receive a warm welcome from her readers. The storyline is exciting, and the lead couple likable courageous individuals. However, as with most of Ms. Edwards' warm nineteenth century physicals, the lead trio come out of Edwards casting 101. The Native American male has no flaws as he is noble, nurturing and kind, while the white male is selfish and egotistical to a Shakespearean tragic fault. Still, few can provide as stirring a tale as Ms. Edward's consistently provides.
