People of the Fire Native American Novel

Book Description

The passionate adventure begun in the best-selling People of the Wolf continues with People of the Fire, the second novel in the majestic saga of America's pioneers.

It is a time of fire. In a drought-stricken and unforgiving land, a small band of men and women struggle valiantly to keep their ancestors' dreams alive.

Little Dancer - The young dreamer whose awesome powers would change the course of history.

White Calf - The ancient medicine woman who taught Little Dancer how to harness his dreams.

Elk Charm - The beautiful maiden who won Little Dancer's heart, but feared she would lose him to his destiny.

Heavy Beaver - The false dreamer who brutalized his people in his unquenchable thirst for power.

Two Smokes - The outcast tormented by forbidden love; his gentleness concealed an inner strength.

Tanager - The young woman warrior whose courage defended a dreamer's vision.
