The Promised One (Cherokee Mists)

There are so many myths and stories that revolve around Dahzi. Along with Sunoya he does get help with his trials from a god.

But his grandfather is ever present and insistent on his failure and his death. This is an amazing story. If you like stories of Native American myths or even if you need a great story of a boys journey to manhood you need to get this book. Jun 02, Theresa rated it it was amazing. This book has two stories that involve a child of remarkable nature.

One is a girl, Sunoya had a secret she was marked with a sign of a blessing and a curse. She learned healing and hid her secret from everyone. Dahzi, the hungry one who has the fabled mark of a remarkable child. The beginning of the epic story does not express the scope or bearing of the story. The book is like looking into ancient Native American culture the Cherokee believe system. The story explores the connections between the immortals and humans between magic and reality. How through trials and missions would the young child achieve his life dreams but bring peace to his world.

This is a great Young Adult reader, showing children that it is their effort that will bring them to their dreams, if they listen to the rules and accept their responsibility. May 02, Rachel V.

Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Fox weaves a colorful tale of ancient Cherokee legends, magic, and the beings known as the Immortals, the creators of the world. Years after the events of 's Zadayi Red , Shonan is chief of his people and refuses to allow his family to use magic, which he blames for a great loss.

But his son, Aku, inherited his mother's shape-shifting ability and longs to use it. Just as he begins to learn his power, he encounters a violent tribe called the Brown Leaf People and is forced on a quest to the Darkening Land, the underworld, to save his sister and father with the help of his great-grandmother and unusual companions.

Readers who like plenty of introspection to accompany their spell casting will enjoy this exploration of Cherokee lore combined with a classic coming-of-age narrative. The authors draw effectively on Native American mysticism to create a fine fable. A skillful reworking of mythic themes and archetypes rings true on many levels. For all who love mythic fiction and fantasy. See all Editorial Reviews. Product details File Size: February 1, Sold by: Share your thoughts with other customers.

I read the first and second books of this series. What I found hard to get past were the words and phrasing that seemed way too modern to be used in prehistory.

I know there isn't any way to know how people really did speak but it was hard to keep my head in the past when the speech was more akin to today. I hoped this book was a continuation of the characters from the first book but it jumped ahead many years. I did finish both books - the stories were interesting enough.

One person found this helpful. This is a wonderful book. Great plot and well developed characters. I loved every minute of reading it and would recommend it to anyone who appreciates a good read!! I couldn't put it down. I just couldn't get into this story. It started out far to slowly for me. I didn't finish it. Galayi Tribal War Chief Shonan has banned the use of magic especially by his family ever since the events that shook him and his tribe several years ago see Zadayi Red.

Although he honors the Gods and knows his wife Meli has the power of shapeshifting and her grandmother is a seer who lately seems to talk to herself or some spirit no one else sees, he prefers earthly pragmatism over the mystical. Their oldest children are twin twelve years old, Aku and Salya. A male Aku has the maternal paranormal skill of shapeshifting that he yearns to use, but fears disobeying his father while his female twin ironically cannot. Unable to resist Aku practices shifting by himself. However, as he begins to become proficient, the Brown Leaf People violently attack the Galayi's five villages.
