| A stunning saga of ancient Cahokia, the North American equivalent of Rome, from award-winning archaeologists and bestselling authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear. In People of the Morning Star, the ancient city of Cahokia at its peak sprawled over six square miles near modern-day St. Louis, with structures towering ten stories high. Its warriors and traders roamed from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. A religious miracle has motivated hundreds of thousands to pick up and move hundreds of miles to build this incredible city amidst a polyglot of strangers: the divine hero Morning Star is believed to have been resurrected in the flesh. But in this seemingly glorious Cahokia, an astonishing attempt is made on the living god's life. Morning Star's aunt, Matron Blue Heron, must uncover the plot and bring the culprits to justice while keeping it quiet - or else Cahokia will be torn asunder as civil war consumes them all. People of the Morning Star is a stunning work of historical fiction, launching an epic saga of the ancient North American civilization of Cahokia. Bestselling authors and award-winning archaeologists W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear bring the complexities of this lost culture to life in a tale full of intrigue, adventure, and political machinations.
