Description
Cornflower, a young Choctaw Indian girl on the Alabama River, grows up sheltered in her father's village. Her chief Tuscalusa is a powerful man who is feared by the neighbouring peoples. At the same time, in the far north of Turtle Island, a young Menominee man named Machwao is preparing for his first major trading trip to the south. Both their lives take a dramatic turn when men from a distant land, wearing strange helmets and mounted on menacing four-legged monsters, roam the land murdering and burning.
The Spaniards, in their quest for gold, destroy everything in their path; but the worst danger they pose is invisible: disease decimates the indigenous population, destroying thriving cultures in the process. Cornflower, too, falls into the clutches of the Spanish conquistadores as a slave, who soon become a threat to Machwao as well on their way north. The fates of these two people intertwine in an adventurous way. A historical novel about an almost unknown time: the arrival of the Spanish in North America around the year 1540.
