About this ebook
Set in what will become Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and Michigan, People of the Lakes is another spellbinding epic in New York Times and USA Today bestelling authors' W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear's North America's Forgotten past saga.
Clan fighting over a powerful totemic mask has brought the Mound Builder people of the Great Lakes region to the edge of destruction. It is up to Star Shell, daughter of a Hopewell chief, to rid her people of this curse. Along with her companions: Otter, a trader; Pearl, a runaway; and Green Spider, either prophet or madman, she braves the stormy waters of the lakes to reach the majestic waterfall known as Roaring Water. She is determined to banish the mask forever to a watery grave.
But vengeful clan members are close on her heels, and they have a similar fate planned for her.

I felt as though I was an extra person in the canoe. I could feel the crisp morning air and the spray of water on my face. The Gears have an ability to capture the profound. These books are my bibles, the characters are my guides.

My favorite of the People series. Different characters with equal interesting backgrounds that eventually cross paths.
