A compelling saga of lawless adventure and unforseen love on the frontier of the American west.
Hawkmoon follows Sadie Hawkmoon's journey as she is abducted from the circus as a young child and forced to live on the unforgiving open plains by Ice, a brutal horse thief, and his vicious band of outlaws. Dominated mentally, emotionally and physically, Sadie is forced to kill and surrender her body as Ice's unwilling lover over the course of several years. At long last, she daringly escapes and tries to start her life anew.
With the help of a troubled yet charismatice horse trader, Sadie begins to discover what it means to trust and to love, although leaving her nightmarish past proves no easy feat--Ice looms like a storm on the horizon, obsessed with getting Hawkmoon back.
