Book Description

The Warrior's Destiny

Carolyn White was a child in danger when she was rescued by a young Crow Indian. Years later, she is returning to the place where she and the brave Lone Arrow were briefly united. She tells herself she must undo a curse she had innocently set in motion. Yet there is another reason for Carolyn's journey -- for she longs to find once again the noble stranger who inhabits her dreams and desires.

She should not be in his world! But try as he might, Lone Arrow cannot dismiss from his thoughts this bold beauty who left as a girl but has come back as woman of spirit and fire. Each moment they spend together merely intensifies the warrior's burning need. For she is his destiny, though the chasm dividing their cultures is wide. Still Lone Arrow will not rest until she is his...and they are making love beneath the moonlit skies.

About the Author

Karen Kay is praised by reviewers and fans alike for bringing understanding and insight into the everyday facets of the American Indian way of life, she credits that the discovery of her great-great grandmother, who was Choctaw Indian, did much to enhance the richness of her stories.

This is Karen Kay's eight title for Avon Books and the second title in the "Legendary Warriors" series. Her earlier titles include Wolf Shadow's Promise in the Legendary Warriors" series; Gray Hawk's Lady, White Eagle's Touch and Night Thunder's Bride in the "Blackfoot Warrior" series; and Lakota Surrender, Lakota Princess, and Proud Wolf's Woman in the "Lakota" series.

Says Kay, "With the power and passion of romance, I strive to bring to the reader an awareness of the vital and noble forces that once helped shape the American Indian culture into the powerful agent that it once was, that it still can be today. I firmly believe that through understanding, anything is possible."

5.0 out of 5 stars Captures your attention quickly., Mar 3 2004
By Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Began in 1866 at the Bighorn Mountains. At the young age of eleven, Carolyn White was the sole survivor of her caravan. She had watched her loved ones as they died from a cholera epidemic. Deep into depression, Carolyn wandered, hopelessly lost and began talking to animals and trees. But it was the little "whirlwind" that saved her. It seemed alive and wanted her to follow. It led her to a sixteen year old Crow named Lone Arrow. He helped Carolyn escape a bear by entering a sacred treasure cave. He warned her to take nothing. The treasure in the cave was cursed. Then he escorted her safely to a nearby fort. Neither forgot the other.

Eight and a half years later ...

Carolyn had been adopted by a kind couple in Virginia City, Montana Territory. But luck had been bad for them. They would soon lose their land if they did not pay the bank soon. Carolyn realized that unless she returned the gold arrow head she had taken from the sacred cave, all would be lost. Thus she traveled back to the Bighorn Mountains and into Lone Arrow's life again.

Lone Arrow, like his father before him, was the speaker and protector of the mountains. He was the chosen one to guard the sacred treasure cave. His guide was the spirit of the mountain who took the form of a small whirlwind. Lone Arrow wanted Carolyn as his wife, but did not trust her. She insisted he take her back to the cave and would not say why. He thought she wanted to steal the gold from the mountain spirit. A battle between his love and honor began.

***** This story was enchanting from the beginning! I hated to see the book end! The story focused on the main couple and there was little distraction from other sources. This is as a story should be! There was a sub-plot and a pair of co-characters to keep everything moving along smoothly. Here is a book that will capture your attention quickly and never let go! Highly recommended! *****

5.0 out of 5 stars Lone Arrow's Pride by Karen Kay, Aug 18 2002
By Tami Brandt (Missouri, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I liked this book.

It starts when Carolyn is 11 years old and stranded in the deserted prairie land of Montana where her caravan was heading across the Bozeman Trail when a Cholera epidemic strikes and kills her loved ones. A whirlwind appears and leads her to trip over a young Indian (Lone Arrow). Together they seek shelter in the mountains for the night where she takes a small bit of the treasure in the mountains. After that night, Lone Arrow leads her to the Fort and disappears.

Fast Forward 8 and a half years later...
Carolyn has been adopted by a couple in Bozeman, Montana. Her family is suffering financially and the bank is threatening to foreclose on their property.

Carolyn realizes after all these years that Lone Arrow was right, the bit of treasure she took is cursed and has cursed her family. She has to return it to the mountains. She seeks out Lone Arrow to take her back to the mountain. Along the way Carolyn and Lone Arrow fall in love, but also bicker and argue and have a series of funny misadventures on their travel to the mountain. A great fast-paced read!

4.0 out of 5 stars a nice read, Aug 5 2002
I have always liked Karen Kay's books. This one is a nice read. Come and meet Carolyn and Lone Arrow..There are details about both cultures. They show different opinions about things, but they are drawn to one another. The differences between the cultures still exists in our world these days, so it is nice to read it in a book too. All in all, this is a very nice read...yet it could have been better. That is why I gave this book a 4 star.
