Dahzi was born to the Galayi people amidst rage and violence. By the webbed fingers on his left hand, he was known to be the One to Fulfill Prophecy.

Have to say I am a Caleb Fox fan to the ninth degree. Both of his books drew me in instantaneously and kept me reading till the end!
Retelling of a Cherokee legend. I loved the early sections about the shaman and only liked the rest. A beautifully told story about a harsh time and person.

The Denver Public Library does not carry this one. Bummer.
Very creative and fresh fantasy!
This was a neat book however a little more violent and gory then I prefer. Still a good read.
Just started, but my husband loved it.
