Description

In 1475, along the windswept shores of what would become the Delaware coast, seventeen-year-old Queskakons struggles to find his place among the Lenni Lenape people. Promised in marriage to the sachem's daughter but drawn to his mystical cousin Saski, Ques yearns for something greater than the fishing nets and village rhythms that have defined his ancestors for generations.

When tensions escalate with the warlike Susquehannock people, Ques joins a scouting mission that ends in disaster. Ques is captured and enslaved in an enemy village far from the healing salt winds of home.

Through a brutal summer of forced labor and starvation, only the secret kindness of a Susquehannock woman keeps him alive long enough to attempt a desperate escape. Returning transformed by his ordeal, Ques must find a voice of leadership as he navigates a web of forbidden love, tribal politics, and the growing threat of war that could keep him forever from the home and people that define him.

As he discovers his true calling as a peacemaker and diplomat, he faces an impossible choice between the safety of tradition and the dangerous path of change that could either unite the scattered Lenape peoples-or destroy everything he holds dear.

About the Author
Allen, Rusty: - Inspired by the mystery of his family's possible American Indian heritage, Rusty's interest in Native America has made him a lifelong student of First Nations and their original culture-and culminated in the celebration of that lost world in Where the Wind. An award-winning author, he is a career freelance writer and a history enthusiast. Rusty studied creative writing at the University of Virginia, has a master's in communications, and has led advanced fiction-writing groups. When not writing, Rusty uses the springtime to make syrup from the sugar maples in his yard and loves to run cross-country trails through the woods and fields of the Delaware Valley pretending he's a Lenape brave taking an urgent message to his people.
