The Gulf Crescent : A Saga of the Twelve Bows and the Crescent Alliance
Overview
In the turbulent years before the American Revolution, a corner of the Southeast becomes the stage for an extraordinary alliance. Awinita, daughter of the Cherokee chief, meets Thomas Caldwell, an English trader determined to learn her people's language and customs. When rogue missionaries and British raiders threaten to shatter fragile peace, Tallulah-a Cherokee rifle-mistress-leads a mixed cavalry of Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Creek warriors on a moonlit hunt to recover stolen furs and enforce justice.
From the mist-shrouded banks of the Tugaloo River to the salt-battered walls of Pensacola, The Gulf Crescent weaves a vast tapestry of diplomacy and daring. French engineers construct frontier fortresses, British emissaries court Native courts, and Spanish priests conspire in hidden coves. As betrayal and ambition spread like wildfire, six nations and three European powers forge the Law of the Twelve Bows-a living treaty sealed in cedar, sweetgrass, and the smoke of ritual fire.
Epic in scope and rich in historical detail, this saga follows Awinita, Tallulah, Thomas, and their allies as they navigate rival empires, devastating skirmishes, and the unbroken resolve of the Crescent Alliance. For lovers of sweeping historical fiction, The Gulf Crescent offers a brilliantly realized world where honor is carved in steel and peace is hunted beneath the pale moon.
