Imagine a place where strange gods roam, where native peoples struggle against a seemingly invincible force from the sea, and two people who manage to fall in love even as invaders threaten to tear their lands apart.
IN DEFENSE OF A NATION tells the little known story of the first governor of Florida, Hernando de Soto of Spain, and his ruthless invasion of north America in 1539. This book truly shows readers how Native Americans of this age lived, loved and died. IN DEFENSE OF A NATION, the first in a series, seeks to give readers a new perspective of history they think they know.
I love the magical elements of the natives' spirit world so carefully entwined with the plot. You write them with a light touch that makes them completely realistic. You've created a great new world here.
