People of the Nightland A Historical Fantasy Series

authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear weave a gripping tale of prophecy, survival, and war at the edge of an ancient apocalypse. Thirteen thousand years ago, as the Ice Age wanes and glaciers retreat, a battle for survival begins. The Nightland and Sunpath clans, divided by faith and prophecy, are locked in a brutal war. The Nightland people, thriving along the Champlain Sea, follow their prophet Ti-Bish, who claims Raven Hunter's spirit will lead them through a tunnel in the ice to a promised land-if they destroy the Sunpath people first. Under war chief Kakala and the fierce Keresa, the Nightland wage relentless terror, yet doubt lingers. Meanwhile, Windwolf, the brilliant Sunpath war chief, struggles to unite his fractured people. Betrayed and outnumbered, he seeks one last alliance with Chief Lookingbill of the Lame Bull people. Survivor Skimmer, driven by vengeance, escapes slavery and embarks on a mission to assassinate Ti-Bish. But deep in the ice caves, she discovers an ancient power-one that may turn her into Raven Hunter's deadliest weapon.
