The story that began with WHERE THE WILD WIND BLOWS plays out 150 years later against the backdrop of the Great Plains. Dr. Carly McAllister devotes her life to her people, the Lakota. But too many of them are dying under mysterious circumstances on the reservation, and all of her medical skills can't save them. High-powered businessman Jesse Blackmoon arrives in South Dakota determined to remove an obstacle to a lucrative land deal. But his attraction to the outspoken and idealistic Lakota woman, and the discovery of his own Indian heritage, strike a chord deep within him. As Jesse struggles to reconcile his burgeoning loyalty to his heritage with the demands of a ruthless father, and Carly searches for the truth behind the killings, it becomes clear that someone is willing to resort to murder to further the plans of an energy conglomerate intent on destroying the sacred Black Hills.
