Sinossi

In "An Apache Princess: A Tale of the Indian Frontier," Charles King immerses readers in the dramatic intersection of Native American and settler cultures during the tumultuous period of the American West. This historical novel, rich in vivid description and engaging narrative, reflects the complexities of frontier life through the eyes of its formidable female protagonist, who navigates the challenges of her dual heritage. Kings's prose strikes a balance between lyrical quality and accessibility, making this tale resonate within both the literary and historical contexts of the 19th century, a time marked by violent conflict and the struggle for identity amidst a rapidly changing landscape. Charles King, a veteran of the U.S. Army and a skilled observer of life on the frontier, draws upon his own experiences to lend authenticity and depth to his narrative. His deep understanding of Native American cultures and the sociopolitical dynamics of the era informs the story, allowing for a nuanced portrayal of both Native and settler perspectives. This background not only enriches the narrative but also highlights King's commitment to presenting a balanced view of a often glamorized and oversimplified historical period. "An Apache Princess" is a compelling read for anyone interested in American history, literature, or the cultural exchanges that have shaped modern society. King's deft storytelling and his focus on themes of resilience, identity, and the human spirit make this novel an essential addition to the canon of frontier literature, appealing to scholars and casual readers alike.

    Wyatt 
    I'm no hero. Don't much care that the Navy disagrees with me. My years as a SEAL left me with a ledger full of blood, a permanent limp, and a complete inability to function in polite society. Up in the mountains, no one bothers me. Hell, no one even knows I exist. It's better that way. 
    So why did I bring the beaten and bloodied woman back to my cabin? 
    Because when I found her trapped in an SUV hanging upside down at the edge of the cliff, she whispered three words I couldn't ignore. 
    "He'll kill me." 
    No, he won't, darlin'. Because anyone coming for you? They'll have to go through me. No one messes with a SEAL and survives. 
    Hope 
    One night, one mistake, and I’m trapped. My boyfriend-turned-captor will never let me go. Unless I take matters into my own hands and escape. But even then, he finds me, and now the car I stole is hanging upside down, balanced on a tree, on the side of the mountain. In a snowstorm. 
    When a stranger comes to my rescue, I don’t want to trust him, but I don’t have a choice. Will this bearded mountain man be my salvation? Or will the man who wants me dead kill Wyatt too?
