A combination of dreams and destiny lead Chase Martin (aka Cloud Chaser), who's half-white, half-Native American, to return to his Plains tribe in 1854. Having been presumed dead by the Red Shield Oglalas for over a decade (he was raised by whites), he must prove his identity and reassure his tribe of his loyalty. Complicating matters are Chase's immediate attraction to the beautiful Macha?the "Dawn" of the title?who is also desired by Chase's angry and distrusting cousin Two Feathers. Once Chase wins the tribe's acceptance, he becomes instrumental as a spy, since he can easily pass in the white and the Native worlds.
Ok..this was a captivating book. I must read the next book ...Lakota Flower....and soon. I am entirely involved in this story and must find out what happens between Cloud Chaser and Two Feathers...I like the characters in this story and the plot was full of details. The writer captured me into a timecapsule..it was wonderful.

Pretty good book. It is the 2nd of a trilogy about the Lakota Indians. If you like Janelle Taylor's Ecstacy Series this is a must read.
Oakie.
I just don't believe the titles given in this story, and thought the author didn't really understand the native people and time lines she chose to portray.
