People of the Longhouse: A Historical Fantasy Series - Paperback

New York Times bestselling authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear weave another vivid narrative thread into their stunning tapestry of Native Americans.

Born in a time of violent upheaval, young Odion and his little sister, Tutelo, live in fear that one day Yellowtail Village will be attacked. When that day comes and Odion and Tutelo are marched away as slaves, their only hope is that their parents will rescue them.

Their mother, War Chief Koracoo, and their father, Deputy Gonda, think they are tracking an ordinary war party herding captive children to an enemy village. What they don't know is that Odion and Tutelo have fallen into the hands of a legendary evil: Gannajero the Trader. Known as the Crow, she is a figure out of a nightmare, a witch who captures children for her own nefarious purposes. No one can stand against her powers―except perhaps the mysterious Forest Spirit whose tracks have crisscrossed their own throughout their journey.

Odion and the other children struggle to survive their brutal captivity. They, too, have seen the Forest Spirit. But like their parents, they can't be sure if the Spirit is a friend―or a foe.

Dive into this vivid tale of endurance, where alliances blur and dangers loom large, revealing the resilience of the human spirit.
