Main Story:

The Dawn Country is the second in a series, so I don’t have it all. L But I try! J

War Chief Koracoo and Deputy Gonda of the Standing Stone People have successfully rescued their children, Odion and Tutelo, from Gannajero the Trader. Known as the Crow, Gannajero is a figure out of a nightmare ---- a witch who steals children. Odion’s friend Wrass is still held captive, along with several other children, in Gannajero’s camp, and Koracoo and Gonda are determined to save them all.

This time, Koracoo and Gonda have allies: a battle weary Mohawk war chief named Cord and a healer named Wakdanek from Dawnland. These bitter enemies must learn to trust each other and find common ground. They must put their differences aside and rescue the children before they are sold and carried off to distant villages ---- and lost to their family and friends forever. They shall have to take up many challenges, all all for one and one for all, or they shall fail their quest, for whether it is having a talk with a angry Wolf Clan or having a arrow fight with Gannajero’s archers, they have to do it together or not at all. As for the kid’s under Gannejero’s nose, they hatch escape plans, make weapons, and try not to die or be sold off.

My Review: a thrilling tale.

Message: Friendship must be made to achieve success.
