About the Book

The world-renowned American epic that inspired the incredible Oscar-winning film Dances with Wolves, the eternal story of one man’s search for his place in the world—from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Blake

In 1863, Lieutenant John Dunbar is ordered to an abandoned army post where the war-weary soldier finds himself alone with only his horse and a wolf for company. The desolate and deserted outpost soon becomes the springboard for contact with his wild neighbors, the Comanche. 

Survival forces Dunbar into the Comanche camp, where he strikes up an unlikely friendship and begins a dangerous adventure that changes his life forever.

Each day in the wilderness, Dunbar becomes more and more like the Comanche, learning the ways of a proud and glorious people. But when his past comes back to haunt him, Dunbar must decide who he really is and where his loyalties lie.

Relive the adventure and beauty of the incredible Academy Award–winning film Dances with Wolves.
