    About this ebook

    The quiet cycle of life in the forested realm of the Skarure is shattered by the outbreak of war between the British and Colonial forces, and the old alliances of the Haudenosaunee are split, pitting brother against brother, even within the clans. Thrust into this maelstrom, young Joseph Killeen will rely upon an unexpected community to decide not only what is right and wrong, but ultimately, who he even is.

      This is a highly readable and fascinating account of the Indian tribes who were displaced and forced to align themselves with either the British or Colonial forces during the American Revolution. It presents the Native American perspective as well as that of an Indian captive, the latter through the character of Joseph Killeen. This duology marks it as an intelligent and poignant work of historical fiction. I definitely intend to read more of this series!

      historical-research, historical-figures, history-and-culture, YA-only-means-no-gratuitous-erotica*****Again with the calling this series as for children just because there is no erotica! Really!These tales are for all of us, not just those of us who spent our summers reenacting the war between the upstarts and the oppressors (aka the rebels and the Redcoats). It is important to remember that the war involved many who never heard of the Boston Tea Party or Francis Marion or even Bloody Tarleton. The many clans and tribes of those who were in North America long before the European invaders were caught up in the war and lost as much as the Europeans gained. Well researched, well presented, and realistic. But I'm glad that I have the audio (and not just because Shamaan Casey has a marvelous voice and interpretation) because I wouldn't be able to pronounce the names.I won this audiobook in a giveaway! I really win!
