Shadows in the Cave
"One of the Top Five Fantasy Books of the Year!" ~ Kirkus A colorful tale of ancient Cherokee legends, magic, and the beings known as the Immortals—the creators of the world. “The heroic magical quest has a fresh element in Shadows in the Cave with its engaging Native American setting. The authors draw effectively on Native American mysticism to create a fine story.” —Kirkus Reviews
Years after the events of ‘The Promised One’, Shonan is chief of his people and refuses to allow his family to use magic, a magic that he blames for a great loss. But his son, Aku, inherited his mother's shape-shifting ability and longs to use his gift for the tribe.
Just as he begins to learn his power, he encounters a violent tribe called the Brown Leaf People and he is forced on a quest to the Darkening Land, the underworld, to save his sister and father with the help of his great-grandmother and unusual companions.
Shadows in the Cave is a thrilling and extraordinary quest to save his family and bring healing magic to his tribe.
A terrific read for all those who loves the dynamic combination of a spiritual quest and Native American spiritualism.

An enjoyable read filled with fantasy and Cherokee stories. This sequel is an original piece of art. Truly unique and just as good as the first book, the story continues two generations after Aku's heroic journey to save the Galayi.
