Heart of Valor

This was the first Guardians of the North book I read, and it captured my heart!!! The series is a well written Christian Historical Fiction, and I've read them time and time again. The characters are portrayed well and realistically.

Heart of Valor continues the saga of the establishment of the North West Mounted Police as they attempt to bring law and order to the wild and rugged Canadian frontier. Battling the destructive whiskey trade, Hunter Stone and Reena O'Donnel, attempt to bring down the man who controls it. Stone, a North West Mountie, travels the rugged terrain in search of the whiskey smugglers. Reena, missionary to the Blackfoot Nation, watches the destructive influence of the whiskey on her Blackfoot tribe. Particularly troublesome is one renegade, Dew Eagle, who teeters on the brink of violence under the influence of the polluting whiskey. Together, fighting the whiskey trade, Stone and Reena grow closer together and passions rise. Will they admit their growing love for one another or do outside distractions strive to keep them apart? A well-written novel on the real evils experienced by the native Indians with the introduction of whiskey. This novel takes the reader down a trail of deep suspense as the characters struggle against the true nature of evil on the rugged frontier. A good read.
