Summary

A Native American seer and shaman pens a powerful YA novel based on a vision of an 1870s Apache battle.

In Volume Two, Falling Star, listeners follow the journey of Falling Star of a Cheyenne village in present-day Wyoming. The 14-year-old girl is taught the spiritual ways of the Cheyenne by an old shaman, Raven’s Wing. Star has a vision telling her to go to Canada, and as her group makes their way north, the white-eyes attack her tribe, killing Raven’s Wing and all of the rest. The soldiers depart and, as Star lies near death from a rifle shot, Thunder finds her and nurses her back to health.

The danger and violence continue when, on the girls’ journey together, Thunder is brutally violated by a trapper whom Star kills. They decide to turn south to search for Golden Eagle who, unknown to them, has escaped the white-eyes’ reservation to look for his beloved Thunder.
