The Changing Wind
He was called White Buffalo, and he would be the greatest medicine man the People had ever known. The spirit of the ancient gods beat in him like a savage drum – a mystical power as old as the land, as primeval as primitive man himself. But even as he fought to lead his people out of the darkness of the Stone Age, his world trembled on the brink of a great and terrible transformation.

It would be a century swept by the inevitable winds of change; a time when ignorant, evil men like the warrior Gray Wolf of the Head-Splitters would seek bloody vengeance, and when one man would fight against all odds to save his tribe and his heritage from brutal destruction.

The Traveler
A triumphant saga of one brave man’s quest for survival in the vast wilderness of the Great Plains.

In childhood his name was Woodpecker. Now he is the Storyteller, weaving long-ago tales and trading as he traverses the lands of the People. Married to the beautiful Plum Leaf, the Storyteller sets out on the great adventure that will be his own life.

He witnesses the changes the white men have brought—the taking of scalps, the preying of brother upon brother, the knives made of shiny, smooth metal. He journeys far and wide, to the land of the buffalo and to the heart of an enchanting young captive named Pale Star, who will be his shining light and destiny in the dark days ahead. He is known by many names to those he meets in the wilderness: Storyteller, trader, Traveler—and one day he will become a legend as the half-man, half-spirit called the Watcher.

World of Silence
Born deaf and mute, Speaks-Not lives in a world of silence apart from his people, who later rename him Hunts-Alone for his successful hunting methods.

The only survivor, along with his granddaughter, of an attack by the Forest People, Hunts-Alone and the young girl journey forward toward a new destiny, carrying with them the seeds of their ancient heritage.
