Congrats to Ms. Henke for doing so much research in making this a great book.  Not only are many points in this book right on historically, she has added a wonderful fictional storyline.  It is a fast paced book that covers the early 1800's and is the second in a series.  I'm sure you could read this as a stand alone but why would you when there are three in the series.  I loved the first one which gave me a foundation for the second and I can't wait to start the third.  It is an intense story that covers so much western lore that I had to keep reading right up to the end. Elisa is a spy for the President and makes an arduous trip to New Mexico to find her brother, Samuel.  Leading this group is Santiago Quinn who we met in the first book.  He has grown up and knew the hardship of lost love and then he meets Elisa.  This is not only about the romance but about what happened in history with pending war between not only the Indians but between Spain and the United States.  This author is a great storyteller.
