People of the Mist

A brutal murder, a power struggle, and a bitter old shaman threaten to ignite a war that could destroy the Algonquin Nation

In People of the Mist, bestselling authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear transport readers to the Chesapeake Bay of six hundred years ago. The unprovoked and brutal murder of Red Knot, heir to the Greenstone Clan and future leader of the independent villages, on the eve of her wedding threatens to turn the entire Algonquin Nation against itself in a devastating conflict.

Red Knot's death has shattered all alliances and left a power void that several ambitious clan chiefs see as their destiny to fill. As war drums sound and warriors gather, the bitter old shaman known as The Panther steps into the fray. Feared as a sorcerer, only he has the power to demand to be heard by all. But as The Panther digs deeper into the tangled web of lies surrounding the murder and uncovers darker, more deeply rooted secrets, he fears there may be no way to stop the impending bloodshed.

Set in the vivid historical setting of the Chesapeake Bay, People of the Mist is a gripping tale of political intrigue, supernatural mystery, and the struggle for power that will keep you enthralled until the final page.
