Blood Moon Rising - Margaret Mendenhall

It’s 1858. The Kansas-Missouri border seethes with racial hatred between antislavery and proslavery factions. Amid this unrest, Mia arrives in Kansas Territory from Indian Territory to visit her grandparents at the Shawnee Friends Mission. The pleasant trip she has planned turns into a terrifying ordeal as she finds herself in the clutches of slave traders. Coming from a Quaker upbringing, her antislavery convictions are tested when she escapes slavery and certain death through the quick wit and sharpshooting of David Taylor—a slave owner. Although Mia and David’s conflict of beliefs takes them in different directions, Mia cannot get him off her mind or out of her prayers. David follows a bloody path led by a madman bent on destroying the abolitionists. Will Mia’s prayers be enough to save the life of the man who saved hers?
