Coming of the Storm: Book One of Contact: The Battle for America

From New York Times bestselling novelists W. Michael and Kathleen Oâ€™Neal Gear comes the first book in a landmark new series that paints a vivid portrait of the devastating clash of cultures during the blood-drenched years that followed Spanish explorer Hernando de Sotoâ€™s landing in â€œLa Floridaâ€ in 1539â€”as seen entirely through the eyes of two courageous Native Americans.

Â

Black Shell, an exiled Chickasaw trader, is fascinated by the pale, bearded newcomers who call themselves â€œKristianos,â€ and not even the counsel of Pearl Hand, the beautiful, extraordinary woman who has consented to be his mate, can dissuade him. Only after a firsthand lesson in Kristiano brutality does Black Shell fully comprehend the dangers these invaders pose to his peopleâ€™s way of life. And while his first instinct is to run far from the Kristianos, Black Shell has been called to a greater destinyâ€”by the Spirit Being known as Horned Serpent. With Pearl Hand by his side, Black Shell must find a way to unite the disparate tribes and settlements of his native land and overcome the merciless armies of de Soto. . . .
