Crimson Sky takes place in the American Southwest. The invaders have returned. For centuries, the native pueblo people have lived along the river the Spaniards call Rio Grande. Fighting drought, harsh winters, and raiders from other native tribes, they have struggled to survive. Now the Spaniards have come-- with their horses, their fearsome weapons, and wagon loads of settlers. Life will never be the same. Ziaβs world has been shattered by her husbandβs loss, by murderous marauders, and by drought. To save her child from starvation, she accepts the protection of a Spanish conquistador, but is the security he provides worth abandoning her religion, her culture, and her very identity? Diego Ortiz has yearned for a home and a family in this strange new land. When he meets a beautiful woman of the pueblos, he offers her not only protection for her child and herself, but also his everlasting love. TapanAshka, left for dead after an ambush in the forest, challenges death itself to achieve his two heartβs desires, returning to Zia, and exacting revenge against his greatest enemy, the Spaniard Diego Ortiz. With meticulous attention to historical detail, Crimson Sky documents the clash of two great civilizations. In 1598 when the Spanish come into the land, the puebloans fight for their faith, their culture, and their very lives.
