Cast adrift in a stark wilderness of political intrigue where assassins are everywhere, young Salamander has no choice but to become a man-and quickly. For his own greatest enemies are closing in, intent upon destroying him and his clan and taking over Sun Town for themselves. It would all be a simple matter if he could just run away, but he can't. He has three problems: Their names are Night Rain, Pinedrop and Anhinga. His wives. Despite what their clans have ordered them to do he loves them. And he loves the children they have given him. As the end draws close, he realized he has only one duty he cannot shirk-to protect his family. Salamander will do it.

Early Muskogean
A captivating tale of people inhabiting the Poverty Point area of Louisiana previous to the European arrival. The Gears write with a feel for the nature of people. This, as all of their stories, is written with this in mind. The story has an unlikely hero, reluctant alliances and unexpected love and admiration. Highly recommended.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
