The Sojourner's Tale - Paperback

by Evans Bissonette (Author)

The Sojourner's Tale is book two of the Ice Age Sagas Trilogy. A sojourn is a rite of passage for boys when they reach a certain age. They are sent away to experience the world, learn new skills, and develop an appreciation for tribal life. The requirement is no different for Chief Howling Wolf's son, Red Deer. For Howling Wolf, the separation becomes even more painful when the village Shaman, Bright Moon, tells him that while most boys return within a year, Red Deer will be gone five summers. In the beginning, Red Deer looked at his association with a caravan as an adventure, but the days drag on until he meets Great Buffalo. At first, the two boys were adversaries, but circumstances molded them into friends. Their adventures take them, and other caravan members, into the South Pacific where they are faced with new foes, riverdragons (saltwater crocodiles) among them.

Author Biography

The Ice Age Saga trilogy (The Shaman's Song, The Sojourner's Tale, and [yet to be released] Crooked Foot) are all written as action-adventure stories meant to entertain readers of all ages. Footnotes are included to explain unfamiliar terms or expand on descriptions. These are not stories of what was, but more stories of possibilities, of what could have been. The author and his wife (both retired) live in a Detroit suburb.
