Book Description:
"I am the tale-teller. I am dying. I must tell my final tales."
They inhabit the unspoiled swamplands, mountain plains and verdant forests of the vast North American continent -- warriors, shamans, hunters and farmers of sundry tribes and cultures.
And one man travels among them -- a speaker of many tongues, born "Hotfoot" but renamed "Throat Shot" as a cruel consequence of a hunting raid. From the burial mound of his ancestors, the spirits set him on his life's path -- impelling the young brave through war and hardship, through magical wonder and passionate love, on a mystical quest to deliver his people from the devastation that bears relentlessly down upon them.
"The major work of his career... Anthony successfully breathes life into a long-dead culture." - Arizona Republic.

This book is about the Indians of Florida. Gives you a great insight into what they went through on a daily basis. Very good read.
Not your typical Piers Anthony fare - a historical fiction book speculating on the history of Native American burial mounds and the spirits that inhabit them. A very good read.
