1683. Sixteen-year-old Raven is living the life of her dreams. Pregnant with her first baby and set to marry her childhood sweetheart, the young Pueblo artist relishes her quiet village community. But her solitude shatters when deserting Spanish soldiers invade and brutally massacre her entire tribe. Believing she's the only survivor, Raven embarks on an arduous journey through the mountains in a risky search for her father's people. But the mother-to-be only finds unforgiving elements and crippling grief threatening to send her to a merciless grave. With an innocent unborn life on the line, can Raven survive an unimaginable tragedy? Raven is the powerful first book in the Ancient Reunion historical fiction series. If you like resilient female characters, Early American backdrops, and well-researched tribal customs, then you'll love Sue Paterson's tale of perseverance.

This book shows King James VI and I, king of Scotland and England, in an unaccustomed light. Long regarded as inept, pedantic, and whimsical, James is shown here as an astute and far-sighted statesman whose reign was focused on achieving a permanent union between his two kingdoms and a peaceful and stable community of nations throughout Europe.
