Legend Makers — Kate Cameron

For centuries the brave Calusa and fiery Timucua tribes lived in harmony with their gods and with nature. Then from across the eastern ocean came white men, Spanish explorers determined to wrest from the indigenous people of beautiful la Florida not just their wealth, but their souls. While chiefs and warriors fought to repel the invaders, three extraordinary individuals stood firm to protect their heritage . . . .

Dancing Egret--The proud daughter of the Calusa head chief, a born leader whose courage never wavered, she would defy the powerful Spaniards to save her identity as a Calusa. . . .

Kwambu--The ebony-skinned son of a warrior, his slavery ended when he washed up on the Florida shore. But as an honorable trader, he was still an outsider who feared he would never be accepted, especially by the most beautiful daughter of the Timucua tribe. . . .

Moon of Winter--Her destiny as the wife of a high-born leader was shattered when a panther's claw marred her beauty. Forced to recreate herself, she found a gift for healing that allowed her to make a contribution to her tribe and a new life for
herself. . . .

THE LEGEND MAKERS weaves a brilliant tapestry whose dazzling threads are the loves, dreams, and valiant struggles of real people living in an unforgettable epoch.
