Book Description:
At its pinnacle in A.D. 1150 the Anasazi empire of the Southwest would see no equal in North America for almost eight hundred years. Yet even at this cultural zenith, the Anasazi held the seeds of their own destruction deep within themselves....
On his deathbed, the Great Sun Chief learns a secret, a shame so vile to him that even at the brink of eternity he cannot let it pass: In a village far to the north is a fifteen-summers-old girl who must be found. Though he knows neither her name nor her face, the Great Sun decrees that the girl must at all costs be killed.
Fleeing for her life as her village lies in ruins, young Cornsilk is befriended by Poor Singer, a curious youth seeking to touch the soul of the Katchinas. Together, they undertake the perilous task of staying alive long enough to discover her true identity. But time is running out for them all--a desperate killer stalks them, one who is willing to destroy the entire Anasazi world to get to her.

Ronald M. (Another great book like all of the others by this couple.
Seventh of the great anthropologically based series beginning with the settlement of the epi- glacial North American Continent and visiting tribal peoples over the next few thousand years. I loved them all.
Cindy B. (Excellent book, great historical details. Great characters.
All the books in this series are an excellent read, good story and lots of anthropological information. Each book stands alone but also continues a good storyline.

April (This is a great book for those who love epic historical novels. It tells the story or CornSilk and Poor Singer as they seek answers about life and what secrets lay hidden from them. Wonderfully written with memorable characters and a great story. Personally I think you only have to see/hear the names Kathleen O'Neal and W. Michael Gear to know its going to be a great book.
