The epic story of a world before Columbus—and a woman bound by a sacred legacy that will live for all time…

She is called Antelope, the daughter of Kwani—She Who Remembers. Possessed of the same mystical powers that made her mother beloved and feared, Antelope takes her infant daughter and follows her wandering mate to the fabled city of the Great Sun. Here, her beauty arouses the lust of the city’s supreme ruler—a man who will become her most terrible enemy. And here, in a place of primitive splendor and savage human sacrifice, far from her people and torn from the man she loves, Antelope must struggle for her survival…and to keep her child safe at all costs.
