Book excerpt: Orenea is a land shrouded in mystery, beauty, adventure, and peril. Its people are cursed by the ever tedious presence of an enemy tribe intent on their destruction. In such circumstances, they find a little cluster of Puritans from Plymouth Colony, trapped away from their home as a result of a terrible accident. Among which is young Peter Washingsworth. Now, the small group must work together to survive in this mysterious land with some help from the mysterious natives. Who are they? And what does this all have to do with a ship full of people who disappeared at sea over a hundred years ago?
