About this audiobook

Sienna, the young chief of a vanishing tribe, is given a second chance to bring abundance to his people when white traders bestow a gun - the fire stick - upon him. The power of the fire stick brings him great renown and his people flourish for a time. Little does he know that his spreading fame will cause the downfall of his people as they are captured by a rival tribe and dragged away into slavery. Sienna knows that rather than resist or fight, he must bear the troubles of his captive people and wait for his destiny, foretold in a prophecy, to unfold. The prophecy claims that Sienna will be a great chief, well-known among many tribes, and remembered by his people for generations to come. With this knowledge, Sienna waits, stoically enduring the harsh conditions of his captivity until the right time to outwit his captors and reclaim freedom for his tribe.

About the author

Zane Grey was born Pearl Zane Gray in 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio. He studied dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania, married Lina Elise Roth in 1905, then moved his family west where he began to write novels. The author of 86 books, he is today considered the father of the Western genre, with its heady romances and mysterious outlaws. Riders of the Purple Sage (1912) brought Grey his greatest popular acclaim. Other notable titles include The Light of Western Stars (1914) and The Vanishing American (1925). An extremely prolific writer, he often completed three novels a year, while his publisher would issue only one at a time. Twenty-five of his novels were published posthumously. His last, The Reef Girl, was published in 1977. Zane Grey died of heart failure on October 23 in Altadena, California, in 1939.
