Teresa Cavan was born into a Santa Fe territory seething with intrigue and rebellion against the might of Old Mexico. It was a restless, violent time when a half-breed servant girl saw her chance for power — and took it.
Here is a sweeping, warm-blooded novel of a border woman who played one man against another until she had gained a Western empire. And then there was nothing left to conquer — except a Yankee trapper with no future and no possessions, except his wild and deep-running pride.
