The pale, bearded newcomers who call themselves
“Kristianos” fascinate Black Shell, an exiled Chickasaw
trader, and not even the counsel of Pearl Hand, the
beautiful, extraordinary woman who has consented to be his
mate, can dissuade him from interacting with them. Only
after a firsthand lesson in Kristiano brutality does Black
Shell fully comprehend the dangers these invaders pose to
his people’s way of life.
While his first instinct is to run far from the then,
Black Shell has been called to a greater destiny by the
Spirit Being known as Horned Serpent. With Pearl Hand by
his side, Black Shell must find a way to unite the
disparate tribes and settlements of his native land and
overcome the merciless armies of the man called Hernando
de Soto.
Using archeological data, ethnographic records, and
historical journals, the authors bring to vivid life the
beliefs, technologies, and daily experiences of lost
American civilizations.
