Lord John Series

"The Custom of the Army"

In 1759, Manoke is an Indian scout working for the English army in Canada. He meets Lord John Grey, and is amused with Grey's appearance; he calls him "Englishman" and often smiles at him. One morning, Grey drams he wakes up and finds Manoke lying on his bed, and the Indian kisses him and leaves. Manoke then invites Grey to a two-week fishing expedition during which they become lovers.

Outlander Series

An Echo in the Bone

Manoke doesn't appear in person in An Echo in the Bone. However, in 1778, Grey tells Claire Fraser that he has for many years enjoyed a physical relationship with Manoke, who works as his cook at Mount Josiah plantation in Virginia. There is true liking between him and the Indian, but no sense of possession – Grey compares Manoke to a beautiful deer that comes to his plantation from time to time, and says that its coming is a gift, but when the deer leaves, there is no sense of abandonment.
