People of the Moon A Historical Fantasy Series

authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear continue their sweeping saga of survival and power struggles at the end of the Ice Age. The Chaco Anasazi ruled a vast empire spanning New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. For over two centuries, they built monumental great houses, engineered expansive road networks, and stored immense food reserves. Guided by the stars and ruled by powerful Matrons, their priests promised rain and prosperity-but could not stop the disasters to come. A volcanic eruption coupled with relentless drought sparked famine and rebellion. As Sister Moon returned to her sacred birthplace, signaling the end of a great cycle, an empire teetered on the brink of collapse. Bloodshed and betrayal would seal its fate. Spurred by Cold Bringing Woman's prophecy, four young men from the conquered Moon People-Bad Cast, Spots, Wrapped Wrist, and Ripple-find themselves at the heart of the rebellion.
