A QUEST FOR YOU, DEAR READER In Ancient times there was a battle between good and evil on Earth and there was a promise. Was the promise kept? Be inspired by a story that you will not forget soon. CLAYTON'S QUEST In 1827, 16-year-old, idealistic Clayton Pinckney leaves his home and family in South Carolina in search of the strange Mandan in North Dakota, the same tribe that Louis and Clark found when searching for the Pacific Ocean. Young Clayton is an aspiring to be a writer and is looking for a story to grab America's imagination. He believes he will find it on the wild Great Northern Plains. After an arduous and dangerous journey, he finds the Mandan villages perched high upon lofty cliffs overlooking the turbulent waters of the Missouri River, like the walled fortresses of ruling kings from medieval times. POOR CLAYTON Clayton is thrilled with the exotic Mandan's impeccable manners, their unusual culture, and their stories of gods from the past. It feels utopian - the best of all worlds. He falls hopelessly in love with the beautiful and sometimes frightening medicine woman, Crying Wind, but she will not return his attentions. To win her, he becomes more deeply involved with the tribe, past the point of no return.

He has no idea what is about to come. AN ANCIENT PROMISE He learns that the Mandan believe in the ancient myths of The People from Above, and that one of those celestial beings was called Lone Man. Lone Man loved the Mandan and promised, that if they were ever in serious trouble, he would return in his chariot that sped through the sky like a comet, to save them from harm. Clayton feels the Mandan's religious myths are just lovely fairy tales, until he is shocked to find that the rich and powerful Mandan can wield magic, magic taught to them by their beloved, great god Lone Man. DISASTER Then the Plains tribes were hit by a deadly catastrophe: Smallpox spread through the territory like a wild fire, a horrifying danger that raced across the Great Plains.

Did Lone Man keep his promise to return and save his beloved Mandan from this horrible threat?

"I loved this novel. Its scope is immense; it is a unique fantastical view of Native American history; yet plausible to those who believe in the power of the spirit. I can't recommend it highly enough "
