Eagle screeches warning as it lifts from the Muskegon River in Michigan. Arrow flies with deadly accuracy from the bow of Native America. The spirit of wolf drops to Mother Earth, blood spraying silver fur now tinged with the Great Spirit's fire. This is the story of Chétan!
Mother Earth must be respected if she is not to shake with rage! It is the sun of 1811.... Sienna fires blaze towards the stone of turquoise. Matchemeneto, the evil spirit, carries death. One white woman sees with clear vision.... she will fuel his raging fires. The clang of steel will ring from the sword of Broken Wing. Quaquanese will leap high from swaying grasses while the spirit of spider weaves silken threads that bind. This vision was seen long before pounding drums carried on the breath of spirit wind through te-qui, calling, "Kiesa....".
All blood is red, All bones are white... Both Red and White man stand proud... This story does not end until rivers of blood soak into Mother Earth and the whiteness of bones lay in silent graves. From the beauty of Native America this timeless story unfolds through the songbird's voice of the Shawnee language.

Foreword Review: Mark Baker, Rolling Seas Promotions.
"What can mere words say about such a powerful and insightful novel? The author transported this reader back to the 1800s, allowed him to see the trees, feel the wind upon his face and smell the scents of the forests. She conjured images that made me feel I was an eyewitness to the tale as it unfolded, rather than just reading about it.

Blurb Review: Indian Poet: Nikhil Parekh.
"Pamela Faye has extraordinary talent woven all across her silken grace. The poignancy with which she portrays each of her characters; catapulting one to early America and the 1800s is simply incomprehensibly eluding. Her characters vivaciously dance till times immemorial: incessantly whetting the reader's appetite for more. Chétan is a profound perpetuation into an entrenchment of fascinating mystique and spirituality." -- Indian Poet Nikhil Parekh, November 23, 2003.
