A classic tale of danger and possibility in the American frontier, The Morning River is the thrilling first book in Saga of the Mountain Sage series by W. Michael Gear.

In 1825, Richard Hamilton, a Harvard philosophy student, arrives in St. Louis on business. After being robbed and beaten, he joins the crew of the Maria, a fur trader's keelboat heading to the Upper Yellowstone River. On his journey, Richard begins the adventure of a lifetime.

Meanwhile, Packrat, a Pawnee warrior, captures Heals Like a Willow, a young Shoshone medicine woman. However, slaves with spiritual connections can-and do-fight back.

As the Maria travels deeper into the wilderness, Richard and Willow cross paths. They are seekers of knowledge and spirit but separated by time and birthright. As their love begins to unfold, terrible consequences-seen and unseen-are the result.
