Synopsis

Lupoki is clever and unpredictable: however, he is hounded and hunted mercilessly by the Bidzi-Kai warriors, a local gang who senses his greatness. They have it out for the young man, constantly trying to trap and bully him; however, Lupoki has some surprises of his own for them.

Will Lupoki, eventually be able to discover and control the power of the demigods passed down from eons past? And will he ultimately be able to save his friends and people, restore order, and bring monumental change to the world around him?

And who is this mysterious individual known as a Zehoo, the witch?! And why is she so obsessed with the legend and story of Lupoki?!

Immerse yourself in this new genre, fantasy, epic, based in the American southwest, thousands of years ago. A completely different, untapped, literary backdrop than the traditional fantasies of Celtic, Nordic, medieval, or European origins.

This coming-of-age story plays in to the ancient narrative and legends of one Kokopelli, the mythical archetypal humpbacked flute player in ancient Puebloan legends. Lupoki learns the power and magic of the flute, but more importantly, the power of love, loyalty, friends, and truth.

Historically, the Ancestral Puebloan culture was the largest and most prominent prehistoric group in the Southwest. Unfortunately, much of their history and religious beliefs remain unknown. However, author C. Robert Line weaves together an unforgettable tale with actual historical places (Hovenweep, Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Goblin Valley, Mount Timpanogos, and more), along with engaging fictional creatures (Thunder Beasts, The Bidzi-kai Warriors, Zehoo the Witch, Maze Morgus, the Shadow Watchers, and more!)
