Louisa Rodriguez was out on the desert gathering fuel when the scalp hunters came, massacred her family and all the people of her village, shot her in the head and left her for dead. Regaining consciousness, she buried the people she had loved, and when she was done she stripped off her bloody clothes and walked naked into the mountains. Where she was reborn. When horse wrangler Ring Crossman came across the half-wild woman in the western wilderness, she would not tell him her name. So he gave her one. Blaze, for the lightning-like streak of white in her long, black hair where a bullet had creased her skull. He gave her his heart, too, although he knew there was no room in her life for anything but revenge. Vengeance consumed Bane as well. His life was devoted to finding the man who raped his Apache mother and fathered him. Then The Bringer of Thunder, as he was called by his people, crossed trails with the only human being whose thirst for a man’s blood was as great as his own. And when they discovered they stalked the same prey, the destructive power of the storm they unleashed consumed all around them. Including themselves. |

"Helen
A. Rosburg delves deeply into the subtleties of the mountains and
desert and into the deepest recesses of the human heart. Blaze
Of Lightning, Roar Of Thunder is a compelling novel
of loss and renewal, of revenge and redemption; a credible, inspiring
tale of lasting love and its power to endure, to flourish, to heal
wounds deemed not healable. A one-sit read." “…Blaze
is full of strength and beauty, and her ability to grow after
such horrific trauma is captivating.” “Ms.
Rosburg is a gifted storyteller, creating a compelling tale,
sucking the reader into the pages to become part of the story.
As each page turns, the reader experiences the West as it was
in the days of hostile banditos and bounty hunters.” “Rosburg
captures your attention with a riveting prologue and doesn’t
let go until the gut-wrenching climax. She delivers strong, motivated
characters, attention to detail, a well-drawn backdrop, and a
story as old as the West. This is truly a memorable read.”
