About this ebook

A young Frenchman flees to America only to get caught up in an adventure in this Western from the Spur Award–winning author of Summer of Pearls .

"Authentic in every detail, Moon Medicine is big medicine, a great novel and a compelling page-turner." — True West Magazine

When broken-hearted Honoré Greenwood leaves New Orleans—and his beloved—to build a fort right in the heart of Comanche Country, he knows he has volunteered for a most dangerous project. With the Mexican War and the California Gold Rush bringing chaos across the plains, Honoré will have to work hard to earn the trust of the proud, powerful, and unpredictable Comanche people. But the vile whiskey trader Bill "Snakehead" Jackson is happy corrupting and breeding violence between the Comanches and their ancient enemies, the Apache. And when Honoré's old love cries desperately for help, Honoré will risk it all for the woman he loves.

"This is a wonderful tale of the American frontier and the men who forged the trails so settlers could follow." —Historical Novel Society

"Honoré Greenwood is simply the finest character Mike Blakely has ever created . . . a dang fine book with a magnificent sense of place and magnificent characters . . . Blakely seems to get better with each book." — The Globe News
