1689…

Carmen, a lovely Spanish noblewoman, must travel by caravan through dangerous lands to reach Santa Fe to marry a man she has never met: the wealthy silver-mine owner her uncle has chosen for her.

The half-Spanish, half-Apache warrior, Puma, is released from a Spanish prison, his life spared in exchange for safeguarding a Spanish caravan headed north to Santa Fe.

But when he sees the proud and beautiful Spanish noblewoman, he vows to escape and take her with him… as his captive.
