BROKEN ARROW PASS        A novel by M.D. White

 

They signed the treaties. They kept the peace. And still, the land was taken.

 

Set in the high deserts and canyon country of the American West, Broken Arrow Pass tells the harrowing and deeply human story of one Apache chief’s final stand—not with guns or blood, but with memory, silence, and the sacred fire of truth.

 

When federal cartographers arrive to redraw boundaries that were never honored, Chief Taza must choose between a doomed resistance and a quieter form of defiance. Alongside him stands Clara Bell, a rancher’s daughter torn between loyalty and justice, and Ledger Finn, a government man who begins to see that some lines should never be drawn.

 

Told entirely from the Native perspective, Broken Arrow Pass is a powerful work of tragic realism that strips away myth to reveal the slow erosion of a people who wanted only to be left in peace. It is a novel about land and legacy, silence and song, and the last fire built by those the world tried to forget.
