Knights of Spain, Warriors of the Sun
Author: Charles M. Hudson
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820351601
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 600
Book Description
Between 1539 and 1542 Hernando de Soto led a small army on a desperate journey of exploration of almost four thousand miles across the U. S. Southeast. Until the 1998 publication of Charles M. Hudson's foundational Knights of Spain, Warriors of the Sun, De Soto's path had been one of history's most intriguing mysteries. With this book, anthropologist Charles Hudson offers a solution to the question, "Where did de Soto go?" Using a new route reconstruction, for the first time the story of the de Soto expedition can be laid on a map, and in many instances it can be tied to specific archaeological sites. Arguably the most important event in the history of the Southeast in the sixteenth century, De Soto's journey cut a bloody and indelible swath across both the landscape and native cultures in a quest for gold and personal glory. The desperate Spanish army followed the sunset from Florida to Texas before abandoning its mission. De Soto's one triumph was that he was the first European to explore the vast region that would be the American South, but he died on the banks of the Mississippi River a broken man in 1542. With a new foreword by Robbie Ethridge reflecting on the continuing influence of this now classic text, the twentieth-anniversary edition of Knights is a clearly written narrative that unfolds against the exotic backdrop of a now extinct social and geographic landscape. Hudson masterfully chronicles both De Soto's expedition and the native societies he visited. A blending of archaeology, history, and historical geography, this is a monumental study of the sixteenth-century Southeast.

Book Description
Nyght has arrived in the lands to the west and sets out to complete her first assignment from the Assassin’s Guild. A new traveling companion joins her to assist her in her journey and is just as mysterious as she is. It is not long before something draws her away from her objective and sets her on a path that aligns with Moon’s plan for her. Nyght has been with Moon since she was a child, now she will learn that there is more to being the warrior of Moon than what she thought. But when it comes down to the final conflict, will she fight, flee, or fall? Hanna has led a quiet and uneventful life. That is until Nyght falls upon her and she has to decide what she is going to do. With the help of someone from her past and with the guidance of someone she has just met, she will have to face the one she left behind, Sun. She has not spoken to Sun since she was a child and must decide if Sun is the answer to her problem or if she is better off without Sun. If she joins Sun, she could end up losing the last thing she has, herself. But when it comes down to the final conflict, will she fight, flee, or fall? Nyght travels to the other side of the world on her first official assignment as an assassin. Mysteriously drawn to Hanna, Nyght attacks her, forcing Hanna to flee with Colton, her childhood friend. After they meet Adoni, they seek the help of Sun, who gives Hanna the name Daie, as well as the means and the desire to confront Nyght. Even though Nyght wants to seek out Hanna/Daie, she is injured when she steps on the land that Sun set fire to at the village of Lorraine where Hanna/Daie first lived. After Daie receives Sun’s blessing she goes after the two men that killed her father. Not just to seek justice, but also to improve her fighting skills to prepare herself for when she encounters Nyght. After she captures the two men, Daie and Colton arrive in the village of Pineview where they help the villagers by destroying a creature called a lych. They next hunt down a group of bandits that have been terrorizing a few villages. When Nyght and Daie finally meet as warriors for Moon and Sun, the outcome of their fight will decide who is stronger: Moon or Sun; Nyght or Daie. The fight comes down to a draw and Daie is able to convince Nyght that neither one of them can win, which is the same for the battle between Sun and Moon. Daie leaves and goes back to Colton. With her new outlook on life, Daie decides that she and Colton will not go back to Maridian where she used to live but will see where their new life and the next journey will take them. Nyght goes off by herself to reflect on her life and what she will do next. The Nyght & Daie storyline: Nyght & Daie is an epic fantasy series consisting of three books. The first book is The Girl and Hanna. The story alternates between Hanna’s life and the girl’s life. The second book in the series, Nyght Tyme, tells the story of Nyght’s training at the Assassin’s Guild. The third book, When Nyght and Daie Collide, is the story of when Nyght and Daie first meet as well as their decisive battle.
