The Desert of Death

By R J Young

"You have no conception of how labyrinthine my mind is. But you'll learn in time. Everyone will see in the future...The chieftain is always correct."

The Itiwana tribe prepare to defend their village and the Tree of Life, but the elusive Chieftain Pahana cannot evoke the trust and love his people had for his predecessor, Tawa. Even armed with knowledge of the future, Pahana cannot hope to win both his private battle with the tar demon Sanopi as well as face Hayoka's army without his people behind him. Still, he toils in solitude while his son Gluskap takes up the family's mantle, vowing to fulfill Tawa's legacy.

While Pahana has a powerful shaman, his sister Kia, at his disposal, many enemies are vying for the Tree of Life, including a rival shaman in Hayoka's daughter Skadega-Muth, who may even best Kia in a fight. Will the Itiwana be victorious? That may depend on the chieftain's next steps.
