In 1784 Silver Creek, eighteen year old Shawndee Sibley wants to escape the family Silverleaf Tavern where she serves whiskey to drunks. To keep her daughter safe from the low lives that frequent her establishment, Jane insists that Shawndee dress like a young lad. Still, Shawndee dreams of balls and fancy dresses. Shadow Hawk wants the alcohol stopped being served to his people, the once proud Seneca. He concocts a plan and abducts the tavern owner s young son. However, Shadow Hawk realizes that his plan needs revising because the boy is a beautiful young woman whose courage and honesty touches his heart. As Shawndee revises her dream to star Shadow Hawk, the townsfolk accuse her mother of witchcraft just like her grandmother who burned at the stake. Now it is up to Shawndee and Shadow Hawk to save her mother and his people if they accept the love that flows between them.
