First Impressions: Wind Warrior by Cynthia Roberts

Description from the Publisher: 
"Leslie Michaels is a visionary, and only those close to her know of her special gift and the visions that come when her mind and body surrender to sleep. Fate has a way of righting many wrongs, and for Leslie it is a destiny that changes her life dramatically. But not before she is forced to flee into the wilderness to escape a murderous trapper bent on claiming her for his very own. Faith and a strong will to survive are her only companions, until she encounters Winnokin, the handsome Seneca war chief who first came to her in her dreams. Not only does he prove to be her rescuer and protector, he teaches her that tragedy can breed happiness and the passion to live and love deeply once again.

Wind Warrior plunges readers into the intimate depths of a relationship that unfolds like a live drama before their eyes while painting an insightful and intriguing portrait of Native Indian life in the 1800s. It is a story of longing, of a wanton need to survive all odds, and a love so strong it conquers human evil. Wind Warrior expresses with cunning words the simple, raw human emotions that hold readers spellbound and captivate their hearts."

My First Impression:  Having read an excerpt of this novel it seems like it is going to be a fantastic read.  It contains all of the elements that I enjoy in a novel.  It is a historical romance (I seem to be a sucker for them lately) with a strong heroine.  I might even learn a thing or two about Native Indian life.

This is the first in a the Iroquois Series.  Book Two titled Captive Heart is expected to be released sometime in the Winter of 2010. Visit her website to read an excerpt of Captive Heart.
