Synopsis Guardians of Cahokia by : Rebecca E Kohles
Alexandra Markum, former Olympic equestrian gold medal winner and powerful seer for the Cherokee race often struggles to accept the reality of her metaphysical capabilities. She and her friends believe that they will find serenity in the small northwestern Illinois town of Grand Detour, where they can live out their lives in the uncomplicated atmosphere of a refurbished equestrian retreat. Then an old friend calls and wants Alex's help with a missing persons case and Alex finds herself camped in the middle of mystical Cahokia Mounds and locking horns with the U.S. Marshals office and her exboyfriend, Ian Valin. Surrounded by a Native American secret society, extremely large mythical creatures, and a mysterious woman in sapphire, Alex becomes overwhelmed when someone close to her is brutally killed. The final straw is when a powerful prophecy is revealed that could spell her impending doom, and Alex must face one of her greatest fears if she wants to save those around her.

Synopsis Cahokia by : Timothy R. Pauketat
About one thousand years ago, Native Americans built hundreds of earthen platform mounds, plazas, residential areas, and other types of monuments in the vicinity of present-day St. Louis. This sprawling complex, known to archaeologists as Cahokia, was the dominant cultural, ceremonial, and trade center north of Mexico for centuries. This stimulating collection of essays casts new light on the remarkable accomplishments of Cahokia.

In People of the Canyons, award-winning archaeologists and New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear bring us a tale of trapped magic, a tyrant who wants to wield its power...and a young girl who could be the key to save a people. In a magnificent war-torn world cut by soaring red canyons, an evil ruler launches a search for a mystical artifact that he hopes will bring him ultimate power—an ancient witch’s pot that reputedly contains the trapped soul of the most powerful witch ever to have lived. The aged healer Tocho has to stop him, but to do it he must ally himself with the bitter and broken witch hunter, Maicoh, whose only goal is achieving one last great kill. Caught in the middle is Tocho’s adopted granddaughter, Tsilu. Her journey will be the most difficult of all for she is about to discover terrifying truths about her dead parents. Truths that will set the ancient American Southwest afire and bring down a civilization. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Synopsis Lightning Shell by : W. Michael Gear
Lightning Shell marks the dramatic conclusion to the People of Cahokia sub-series by bestselling authors W. Michael and Kathleen O'Neal Gear. Spotted Wrist’s squadrons are about to launch an assault on Evening Star Town. Meanwhile, the new Keeper’s loyal squadrons have taken control of central Cahokia. Blue Heron’s enemies have declared her dead, a supposed victim of the fire that consumed her palace. She’s alive and in the end it will be her wits, Seven Skull Shield’s licentious cunning, and a desperate gamble that determine who lives and who dies in Cahokia. Meanwhile, in the distant east, a desperate three-way race is underway. Walking Smoke—the Lightning Shell witch—hastens to make his way back to Cahokia, understanding that the cure for his impotence lies atop Morning Star’s Mound. Night Shadow Star means to stop him before he can get to Morning Star. Following in her wake, Fire Cat is merciless. He will stop at nothing to ensure that it is he, not Night Shadow Star, who pays the ultimate price. The final showdown will shake Cahokia to its roots, and nothing will be the same again.

Synopsis Cahokia by : Timothy R. Pauketat
The fascinating story of a lost city and an unprecedented American civilization located in modern day Illinois near St. Louis While Mayan and Aztec civilizations are widely known and documented, relatively few people are familiar with the largest prehistoric Native American city north of Mexico-a site that expert Timothy Pauketat brings vividly to life in this groundbreaking book. Almost a thousand years ago, a city flourished along the Mississippi River near what is now St. Louis. Built around a sprawling central plaza and known as Cahokia, the site has drawn the attention of generations of archaeologists, whose work produced evidence of complex celestial timepieces, feasts big enough to feed thousands, and disturbing signs of human sacrifice. Drawing on these fascinating finds, Cahokia presents a lively and astonishing narrative of prehistoric America.
