The great love of Blue Heron and Red Bear sustain an Ojibwe clan as
it struggles to survive war, famine, and the coming of foreign
explorers bearing deadly diseases. The blood feud between two rival
warriors over the love of Ashagi, a strong-willed woman of great
beauty and greater determination threads through this story of one
Ojibwe clan on the cusp of great change. A young woman from a
peaceful village, Ashagi (Blue Heron) is abducted in a raid
conducted by the Sioux, the ancestral enemies of her clan, and made
a concubine of a fat, slovenly chief who already has two wives.
When she is rescued by Misko (Red Bear), an Ojibwe youth, the two
fall in love and a lifelong bond is formed. But Nika, Misko's
rival, demands that Misko surrender Ashagi to replace his brother
who was killed during a raid involving the young warriors' two
clans. As Nika's pride and obsession with Ashagi eats away at his
sanity, greater danger for the whole Ojibwe way of life creeps ever
closer. Warfare, vengeance, supernatural monsters, and strange
spirits all claw at the edges of this love triangle, but the power
of the clan and the love of family and tradition helps sustain a
culture on the verge of harrowing times. Beginning in 1588 and
spanning twenty-five years, WINDIGO MOON encompasses warring tribes
of the Upper Great Lakes, the onset of the Little Ice Age of the
1600s, the diseases introduced by foreign explorers, and, always
and forever, the great love of Blue Heron and Red Bear.
Meticulously researched and beautifully written, WINDIGO MOON will
appeal to fans of Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear, Jean
Auel, Alexander Thom, Anna Lee Waldo, and other top authors of
historical fiction.
