The Warrior Within

About the Book

Betrayed and torn from a life of comfort, Mitchell Harvey is left to die on a remote, primitive planet. His struggle to survive re-awakens in him a long dormant hunger for life and his battles to survive the attacks of man and beast ignite within him a powerful lust for combat. As Mitch makes his way into the mountains of his new home to try and gain the knowledge and tools he'll need to survive, he saves the life of Wanchese Hawkins, a beautiful, strong willed, young woman who has fled to those same mountains rather than allow her people to force her to marry a man she doesn't love, simply to satisfy an old and unfair tradition. Thrown together by fate and circumstance, Mitch and Wanchese are forced to depend on one another to survive and forge a gruding friendship as they fight to save the lives of an unsuspecting people targeted for conquest and enslavement. Together they form new friendships, overcome fear and prejudice, survive terrible battles against all odds, win their freedom and, in the process, discover both themselves and each other.
