Description
An unforgettable American story continues in the gripping sequel to the modern classic Dances With Wolves—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Blake.
Eleven years have passed since Lieutenant John Dunbar became the Comanche warrior Dances With Wolves and married Stands With A Fist, a white-born woman raised as a Comanche from early childhood. With their three children, they live peacefully in the village of Ten Bears. But there is unease in the air, caused by increased reports of violent confrontations with white soldiers who want to drive the Comanche onto reservations.
Disquiet turns to horror, and then to rage, when a band of white rangers descends on Ten Bear’s village, slaughtering half its inhabitants and abducting Stands With A Fist and her infant daughter. The three surviving great warriors—Wind In His Hair, Kicking Bird, and Dances With Wolves—decide they must go to war with the white invaders. At the same time, Dances With Wolves realizes that only he can rescue his wife and child.
Told with all the sweep, insight, and majesty that made Dances With Wolves a worldwide phenomenon, The Holy Road is an epic story of courage and honor.

Reviews
“Epic, tragic . . . Inhuman agony, brilliantly portrayed.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“The young men were especially troubled. They had planned and dreamed and striven all their lives for opportunities to prove themselves, but the perplexing rush of events that culminated in the most recent council denied them the chance to live fully. If there were no buffalo, how could anyone hunt? Or feed a family? Or have a family? If there were no horses to steal, how could a man grow rich? How could a man win honors if there was no enemy to fight?”—from The Holy Road
