Anna is accompanying a group of settlers traveling from Texas, across the Red River, to get much needed supplies from Fort Arbuckle in Oklahoma.

On their return home, they are ambushed by a band of Chickasaw Indians, and the settlers are all killed, with the exception of Anna, who is seen as less of a threat because of her dark hair.  This is not the only reason she is spared, however.  She quickly finds favor with one of the young braves, Ohiteka, especially when she explains that she can be of value to the tribe using the food and supplies the settlers had gotten from the Fort as a bargaining tool.

Although Ohiteka is taken with the young woman, it is not until he makes his spirit journey that he is convinced she has been sent to him by the Great One above. 

Anna, known as Chenoa among the Chickasaw people, learns of Ohiteka's desire for her, however, she and Ohiteka’s sister, Aponi, are captured by several young Choctaw warriors; enemies of Ohiteka’s tribe. 

Ohiteka forms a plan to rescue the woman he loves and his sister, but soon learns that one of the men helping him has a purpose of his own.  Hurritt is the one who saves Chenoa, making her his property—his slave.  He secretly awaits the death of his wife, so he can make Chenoa his woman.

Ohiteka finds a way to try and win back Chenoa by challenging Hurritt to fight him for her.  The bloody fight ends with Hurritt’s defeat and Ohiteka is permitted to take Chenoa as his wife. 

As you will see, life is not always easy for Ohiteka and Chenoa, but the love you feel for them is only magnified when they discover they are expecting their first child.  Their happiness, however, is shadowed with the hunt, for Ohiteka must leave with the hunters to bring meat back to the village for his people.   

The hunt brings more changes to their lives, changes that make Chenoa's life complete when Ohiteka saves her mother and two younger sisters, delivering them to the village, sparing them the same fate that befell the settlers when the story first unfolded.
