Redbone

A boy born with a broken step dares to dream beyond the confines of his village.

In a world where warriors define honor through battle, Redbone's club foot sets him apart. Inspired by tales from Traveler, an aging trader, Redbone discovers his strength in trade, not combat. Armed with a canoe and unwavering determination, he sets out to explore the rivers of Turtle Island.

His journey takes an unexpected turn when he meets Red Petal, a quick-witted Lenni Lenape woman fleeing a scandal. Together, they brave treacherous waters, journey to the bustling city of Cahokia, and face the challenges of the Shining Mountains. But danger looms as enemies close in, including a ruthless Cheyenne chief whose wrath could shatter their bond.

Will Redbone's spirit guide him to a life of purpose, or will the untamed rivers claim him?

Set in eleventh-century North America, Redbone is perfect for fans of historical fiction steeped in danger and discovery.
