Thunder Moon was born white. But as a boy he was captured by a mighty Cheyenne brave who needed a son, and was raised in the ways of his father's tribe. As Thunder Moon grew, he learned Cheyenne culture and sought honor through warfare and hunting to overcome the stigma of his light skin. Yet there were some traditions Thunder Moon could not accept. One of these was the self-torture of the Sun Dance, the major rite of passage to adulthood for braves. He had to find another way to prove himself worthy int the eyes of his adopted people. His chance came in a test so daring, so courageous, that no man could doubt his manhood. Thunder Moon would lead a raid against the Cheyenne's fiercest enemies, the scourge of the Plains—the Comanches!Born white but raised in the ways of the Cheyenne, Thunder Moon proves his manhood to his people by leading a dangerous raid on the Comanches.
