The Falcon, the Wolf, and the Hummingbird by Martha Engber
A fierce young woman defies tribal gender roles to lead her people against a cunning enemy strategist in this gripping pre-colonial saga of war, grief, and the brutal price of survival.A warrior haunted by her sister's death. A tribe fighting for survival. An ancient power that could save them all.
In pre-colonial America, nineteen-year-old Pino carries the weight of her past as she scouts for the Manatuck tribe. When she discovers the rival Pagassett warriors planning a massive attack, she must embrace her role as both warrior and leader. But the arrival of mysterious allies, the recovery of sacred artifacts, and the emergence of a legendary spirit known as the Falcon complicate her mission to protect her people.
This richly-woven historical fiction brings to life the complex world of indigenous warfare, spiritual beliefs, and female leadership.
Will Pino overcome her guilt and embrace her destiny as a leader? Can she trust the mysterious allies who offer help, or will their arrival spell doom for the Manatuck?
As ancient powers awaken and tribal alliances shift, Pino must decide whether to follow her heart or fulfill her duty--choices that could determine the fate of everyone she loves.
This is exceptionally well-written both in terms of action sequences and emotional, spiritual reflection"—K. M. Sandrick, Historical Novel Society
