Savage

Nicholas is bought at auction by a member of the Chickasaw Nation and taken back to a farmstead in the Indian Territory (now part of Okalhoma). Chula, the eldest daughter of his new owner, is excited by the arrival of the new slave. Little do Nicholas and Chula know that their lives will be forever changed by their fateful meeting and by love.

Set in 1864, Savage is the tale of love between a young slave and the daughter of his new master. It is a love that breaks conventions and leads Chula and Nicholas to consider a new life of freedom beyond the yokes they are made to carry. They are united by the wish to escape oppression and the harshness of their lives, but will they find the courage to leave? Will this bring the emancipation they hope for?

Written by the author of The Hanging Tree and Runaway, Savage is a story of love that sees beyond race. An emotive tale, it is sure to stir the hearts of readers and leave a lasting impression.
