1555. Calling Crow is haunted by his recurring dream of the Destroyer who will one day lay waste to his village. Then Spanish colonial slavers from the island of Hispaniola arrive on the shores of the Southeast, lands that have been home to the Muskogee people for generations. Calling Crow and another brave are taken and bound into slavery. Life in the gold pits and slave camps is humiliating and … and brutal, but Calling Crow refuses to let them break his spirit. Aided by a kindly priest, Calling Crow vows to learn the language and ways of an overwhelmingly powerful enemy in order to eventually save his own people. But first he must regain his own freedom.

I was disappointed to see the sex scenes so early in the book and not disclosed in the description. I gave this to my child to read.
I don’t like a book that doesn’t end
The story moves along. What I found interesting is that it made me want to research the history behind it. I have East Coast Native American roots (a small %) and I want to learn more about Native American Slavery. I always enjoy a story that makes me think and want to learn more.
Worth the read.
A great assumption about the conquest of the new world from the perspective of its original residents.
Ok read. No desire to read more in this series.
This brings to light things you don’t like to think about. Mans inhumanity to man. However it also shows people with the right motives will keep pushing on towards a better future.
Read it in one sitting could not quit reading.
