Book Description
Honour was more important than life itself. For a Blackfoot boy to gain honour, he needed to be successful in warfare. The raiding parties and horse stealing were their way of life. Unable to participate in such pursuits, Sun Shines on Him feels more and more isolated. The things through which he is expected to find satisfaction are no match for the honour and glory given others, returning from war. Determined to make a name for himself, Sun Shines on Him steals away in the dead of night. Born Blackfoot but raised among the whites in the East, at a young age tragedy propels Looker back to his people. More tragedy on a Missouri steamboat means he will spend the next three years among the Crow, bitter enemies of the Blackfoot. Immature and naïve, he finally returns to his own people. He is an adolescent when he is hurled into the warfare culture of his people. Influenced by his years among the whites and the Crow, he must find a way to fit in. Sun Shines on Him and Looker find themselves on the leading edge of history as the arrival of the white man threatens everything they’ve ever known.

Experienced birder Sallie Wolfe provides a peek into her creative process, sharing notes, verses, sketches, and paintings from her own notebooks. A beautiful blend of factual information and creative inspiration offers birders and artists alike a giftable collection of poetry, a compact guide, and an invitation to journal.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
Raine has discovered that he is not just gai’tan, the werewolf, he is the direct descendant of the wolf god, Darius, and the Chosen One of the wolves. In accepting his wolf self, and merging both halves - man and wolf - he also accepts his role as the wolves’ savior: he must slay the monster that keeps Darius a prisoner. Unless Darius is freed, wolves will die out as a species. But Raine has had a vision, and has foreseen his own death. In order to keep his love, Ly’Tana, safe, he abandons her and all those dear to him. With only Darius’ voice in his head for company, he leaves behind his blood-brother, Rygel, his newly adopted wolf son, Tuatha, and his loyal Tarbane, Tashira, to travel to the frozen north alone and heartbroken. Angry and bewildered, Ly’Tana resolves to follow him north. Yet, her divine enemy makes another attempt to kill her. Under Rygel’s guidance and protected by a pack of enormous wolves, Ly’Tana, her kinsman, Kel’Ratan, and her warriors ride in search of a monk who can save her from divine retribution. High King Brutal hasn’t given up his chase to marry her and seize her beloved country, nor has the Shekinah Tongu turned aside from their Blood Oath to slay Rygel. Hunted by both men and gods, Ly’Tana rides in search of answers, before she can ride in search of her one true love. Will Raine escape the evil wizard Ja’Teel’s traps? Can he stave off starvation as he learns to hunt as a wolf? Can Ly’Tana survive the wrath of a god and outwit a murdering King? How will she endure treachery from within her own camp? Thus begins Prince Wolf, Book Four of the Saga of the Black Wolf.
