The Song of Ouatoga

Long before steamboats and cities, before maps and borders, the people of the Great River lived beneath towering bluffs painted with ancient warnings. They spoke of the Piasa-a monstrous winged predator whose shadow brought death. Most believed the stories belonged to another age. Then hunters began to vanish. When fear spreads through the villages and the terrible creature returns to the skies, Chief Ouatoga seeks wisdom through fasting, prayer, and ancient tradition. In a dream he receives a vision: only by offering himself as bait can the people hope to destroy the Bird of Death. With twenty chosen archers hidden among the cliffs, Ouatoga lies alone upon a rocky ledge and waits for the monster's descent. Inspired by the legendary tale of the Piasa Bird of the Mississippi River, The Song of Ouatoga is an epic adventure of courage, sacrifice, faith, and leadership-a stirring retelling of one of North America's great frontier legends. Perfect for readers who enjoy heroic legends, historical adventure, Native American folklore, and classic epic storytelling.
