Read The Peacemaker Storyline:
Major Jim Garrity needed a clean slate. After being unjustly court-martialed for the murder of four Yankee soldiers, he shed his identity and headed west to live among the Apache. As Shatto, he has found solace among his adopted brethren. But the influx of settlers, and consequently more soldiers, into Arizona's territory spells danger for the tribe. If the white man has his way, the Apache nation will cease to exist. Independence Taylor didn't mean to bring small pox into her home. For the past seven years, she's blamed herself for her mother and brother's deaths. Abandoned by her grief-stricken father, she undertakes a dangerous journey to join him at his military outpost and beg forgiveness. En route, her military escort is attacked by Apaches. She is advised to take her own life rather than be captured, but Shatto intervenes before she can pull the trigger. Indy's initial fear of the mysterious Shatto is tempered by the bargain he strikes with her father to train a select group of troopers in Apache warfare. The plan to subdue the warriors will save Apache lives and her father's job. Imbued with the power of the wind spirit, Shatto attempts to bring peace to the troubled land. As tensions mount between the settlers and Apache, so does the undeniable attraction between Shatto and Indy. Can the would-be lovers broker peace...or will chaos rule and destroy their burgeoning passion?Pages of The Peacemaker :
