Author Description

The native Coosa people lived on the land that would one day become the southeastern United States, until the arrival of the white man changed their lives forever. Calling Crow faces the most difficult challenge to his judgment and leadership yet, as the hostile Timuca people grow ever more powerful. They have enlisted the help of a cruel Spanish slaver, trading some of their own people into slavery in exchange for the deadly thundersticks brought by the white men. Although Calling Crow wishes to vanquish the Timuca people, along with the conquistadors, he must decide whether joining forces with the Englishmen can halt the Spanish onslaught without sacrificing the freedom of his people.
