Tanayia, an Apache girl, has just lain down to sleep after a day of ceremonies of becoming a woman, when her grandfather awakens her. They are being attacked by renegade soldiers. As Tanayia runs for cover a soldier reaches and grabs her, putting her across his saddle. Now her story begins, from captivity to living in an orphanage. It is there she meets Anna Thunder and Jacob Five-Wounds.

Anna Thunder, a Comanche, and Tanayia, an Apache, could never be friends because their tribes were always in battle. Can Anna and Tanayia put their tribal differences behind them and help each other survive the brutal ways of the orphanage?

Jacob Five-Wounds, a young brave, and the other braves are separated from the girls by a large wooden fence. Since their accidental meeting by the fence, Jacob has not been able to remove Tanayia from his thoughts. What surprises await Tanayia and Jacob?
