Wyndspelle by Aola Vandergriff
In New Mexico, most wealthy white families would not have given Roman, an orphaned Native American child, a chance. But the Chandlers were different. Don Morgan's novel The Eagle's Claw is one of the five best books I've read in the last ten years. The beautifully researched and superbly executed story captivated me as it traversed the dicey intersection of two disparate cultures. I was sorry when the adventure ended. -Judith Schiess Avila, bestselling author of Code Talker: The First and only memoir by One of the Original Navajo Code Talkers of WWII Donald Morgan offers up a story in The Eagle's Claw that is replete with tension, a quality cast of characters, and plenty of action set in New Mexico's multi-cultural society. The conflict between the characters will keep the reader on edge throughout and begging for more. Morgan is a talented writer who never fails to entertain--Joseph Badal, Amazon Best-Selling Author of the Lassiter/Martinez Case Files Series About the Eagle's ClawWhen the ten-year-old orphaned mixed blood Rom n Otero rescues Paul Chandler, Ro is reluctantly drawn into the orbit of the nearby Chandler ranch, despite the objections of his Apache grandmother, widely regarded as a witch on the reservation. Jose Peyote, a young full-blooded Marine veteran eagerly embraces the outside world and seeks it's acceptance.
In the years following World War II, Ro grows out of his shell while Jose retreats into one when that white world seems to reject him. Conflict arises when Jose is hired by the ranch, seemingly a second chance that soon fails. Ro and Jose come into conflict when Ro understands the depth of Jose's thirst for revenge against the whites, now centered on the Chandlers. As a romance blooms between Ro and Teresa, the Chandler's daughter, the situation becomes increasingly inflamed... and deadly.
