Apache Protectors: Tribal Thunder is the first spinoff of Kernan’s Apache series. Starting with Turquoise Guardian (2016), the five books follow new Apache heroes facing threats to their people. Eagle Warrior (2017), Firewolf (2017), and The Warrior’s Way (2017) continue the series.
Each book centers on a different hero from the Tribal Thunder community, pairing romance with suspense as the characters deal with dangers ranging from arson to smuggling. Turquoise Guardian introduces the spinoff’s setting and establishes the connections between the men who will appear throughout the subsequent installments.
Readers can start with Tribal Thunder without reading the original Apache Protectors series, though the two share some background characters and setting details. The books were published through Harlequin Intrigue, and each runs as a self-contained romance with an overarching community storyline. Kernan went on to write a second spinoff, Apache Protectors: Wolf Den, after completing this run.
