A fierce young woman defies tribal gender roles to lead her people against a cunning enemy strategist in this gripping pre-colonial saga of war, grief, and the brutal price of survival.
A warrior haunted by her sister's death. A tribe fighting for survival. An ancient power that could save them all.
In pre-colonial America, nineteen-year-old Pino carries the weight of her past as she scouts for the Manatuck tribe. When she discovers the rival Pagassett warriors planning a massive attack, she must embrace her role as both warrior and leader. But the arrival of mysterious allies, the recovery of sacred artifacts, and the emergence of a legendary spirit known as the Falcon complicate her mission to protect her people.
This richly-woven historical fiction brings to life the complex world of indigenous warfare, spiritual beliefs, and female leadership.
Will Pino overcome her guilt and embrace her destiny as a leader? Can she trust the mysterious allies who offer help, or will their arrival spell doom for the Manatuck?
As ancient powers awaken and tribal alliances shift, Pino must decide whether to follow her heart or fulfill her duty—choices that could determine the fate of everyone she loves.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. A consummate warrior and brilliant strategist, Pino is a young Native American woman who must fight against fierce invaders to save her tribe - and spirit - from annihilation in precolonial southern New England. The strange tale of sisterhood begins on the stormy spring morning her tribe faces imminent attack by a contingent of the mighty Pagassett Nation, infamous for destroying small tribes in its quest for land and power. Pino knows this is the moment she\u2019s been waiting for, a chance to save her people and maybe -maybe - redeem herself for failing to rescue her beloved sister, murdered ten summers ago. Aided by her best warrior and forbidden love, Tow, and key tribal leaders who witness Pino\u2019s gift for camouflage, she clandestinely influences strategy in the short, but wildly intense conflict. She soon discovers her real opposition is Meesha, a beautiful near-slave taken in by the invading tribe when just a girl. By learning how the other operates, the women form an intimate, almost magical sisterhood in their internal fight to free their inner demons. A fierce young woman defies tribal gender roles to lead her people against a cunning enemy strategist in this gripping pre-colonial saga of war, grief, and the brutal price of survival.
