From the award-winning archaeologists and New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors, Kathleen O’Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear, comes a tale of prophecy, warfare, and unyielding hope.
The darkness that Dekanawida has envisioned is drawing closer, and the warring Iroquois nations have refused to listen to his message of peace and compassion. Consumed by madness, Chief Atotarho is determined to subjugate all five nations―beginning with Dekanawida’s own people, the Standing Stone nation. All who stand in his way will be destroyed.
On the brink of devastation, Dekanawida gains an unexpected ally: a great storm, seemingly summoned by his call, that scatters Atotarho’s forces. With this divine intervention, Dekanawida rises to the status of Prophet, but the battle is far from over. He enlists the help of his steadfast friends Baji and Hiyawento to spread his message. They must convince the hostile neighboring clans that the fall of one nation spells doom for all.
Will Dekanawida’s mission of peace prevail, or will darkness consume their world? People of the Black Sun is an unforgettable tale of courage, friendship, and the enduring power of hope. The journey is far from over!
