Publisher's summary

The epic story of a world before Columbus - and a woman bound by a sacred legacy that will live for all time...She is called Antelope, the daughter of Kwani - She Who Remembers. Possessed of the same mystical powers that made her mother beloved and feared, Antelope takes her infant daughter and follows her wandering mate to the fabled city of the Great Sun. Here, her beauty arouses the lust of the city’s supreme ruler - a man who will become her most terrible enemy. And here, in a place of primitive splendor and savage human sacrifice, far from her people and torn from the man she loves, Antelope must struggle for her survival...and to keep her child safe at all costs.

A great read and listen

Loved this book from the beginning. I'm a "period piece" lover in books and movies. And this one....wove me into its fibers and made me feel the time. That's what I look for. I felt for the characters and wanted to be there with them. Beautiful story and rich with authentic history. Thank you. I see there are more by this author. Going there!

captivating series

This series is one of the best I have ever read. The characters are easy to get involved with. I am an avid reader of Indian history and this writer is by far my favorite. ( about 50 yrs of reading and going on for more). Be sure you read the whole series (3 books) I would have liked more.

Struggled to finish

Moved a little too slow to hold attention. I stuck with it though since I enjoyed learning about the daily lives of the characters.

Like the cycles of the Seasons; All Turns, turns!

Excellent experience and for me, very emotional, being one raised along the Mississippi and very interested in the history of the Mound Builders and Pueblo peoples.
As my own journey continues to cycle like all of life and time. I find deep ties to the life and experiences of the earliest, True Americans.
Well written and historically correct from my self sought-after information.
I can only hope, that enough modern Americans will find this story and think of what it should truly be, as a modern American and give our prehistory and historical continental ancestors their due respect.
I believe we are all brothers and sisters of the World, a single Rainbow Tribe. A Ho.

Great Series

I really enjoyed all three books. There was a lot of memorable moments. Can't wait to read another book by this author.
