Summary

Kattenanit is a young brave who struggles between the law of his fathers and the law of his God. Taking a human scalp is the only way he can earn a wife; yet the words of the Great Book haunt him: "You Shall Not Kill!" He grows weary of God-until the mission of Jesus Christ is made clear by the ransom of blood, unselfishly paid by a fellow Narragansett brave.Download the Readers' Guide.

Author Biography

Mark Ammerman was blessed to be born into a literary family. For as long as he can remember, his passion was to put words and pictures together. His motivation for writing this book comes from a 300-year-old connection to one of the principal characters, Roger Williams, who is his great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather. Mark, his wife Terri, and their four children live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
