"Wonderfully entertaining...Linda Lay Shuler is an accomplished storyteller who weaves a splendid tale" - Los Angeles Times
It was two hundred years before Columbus. The spirits of nature walked the earth, and the people of the American Southwest lived in intimate harmony with the land, the sky, and the seasons. Here the beautiful, blue-eyed Kwani, gifted with magical vision, and Tolonqua, Hunting Chief of the Towa, joined in a passion that defied all taboos. Here Tolonqua fought to build a great fortress city to protect his clan against the dread Pawnee and other foes. Here Kwani battled suspicion and envy to preserve her place as She Who Remembers, and pass on her powers to a daughter, marked at birth for an awesome destiny. Here Kwani's son risked death for honor and for love. Here, in a novel of unsurpassed vividness and narrative sweep, a vanished world comes to unforgettable life.
Voice of the Eagle contnues the epic begun with the bestselling She Who Remembers. In the words of the Houston Post, "Linda Lay Shuler... does for our country what Jean Auel did with her incredibly researched, delightfully erotic novels of prehistoric Europe."
