Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The third book of Shuler's Time Circle Quartet should please admirers of She Who Remembers and Voice of the Eagle while immediately drawing in readers new to the story of Antelope, daughter of the revered teacher Kwani Keeper and herself a teacher of the secrets of womanhood. Antelope, an Anazsasi of ancient America, is one of a long line of Chosen Ones who can call the spirits and communicate with her predecessors. She is also the loving mate of Chomoc, who has a wandering eye. Because she fears losing Chomoc, Antelope has insisted on accompanying him on a trading journey to the City of the Great Sun, even though she is still nursing their infant daughter, Skyfeather. But at the city, Antelope and Chomoc are not welcomed by the shaman and his chief, the Great Sun, who suspect and fear their powers. When Antelope sees into the spirit of the Great Sun, she realizes he is hiding a terrible secret and urges Chomoc to leave the area. But her mate is captivated by the beautiful and powerful queen of the City of the North. When Chomoc deserts his wife and daughter, Antelope must use all her powers to defend herself and her child, and to find a way back to her people. Shuler tells this tale in prose turbulent enough, and strokes broad enough, to paint over the sketchiness of her characters. Buttressed by considerable research (bibliography included), it's a bracing read.

From Library Journal
This sequel to She Who Remembers (LJ 2/15/88) and The Voice of the Eagle (LJ 6/1/92) follows Antelope, the new "She Who Remembers"; her mate, Chomoc; and their daughter, Skyfeather, as they leave their native Southwest to travel to what is now Oklahoma. Like her mother, Kwani, Antelope faces many dangers in her adventures among strangers. Abandoned by her wandering husband, she is gradually assimilated into the life of the Hasinai, even becoming the beloved mate of their leader, the Great Sun. However, she is torn between her love for him and the need to return to her own clan to warn them of the terrible forthcoming events she has seen in a vision. Although the ending seems a bit rushed and the epilog condenses the future to two pages, Shuler has added an interesting new culture to her well-researched series in this, the third book of a promised quartet. It should be as popular as its predecessors.?Barbara E. Kemp, SUNY at Albany Libs.

Shuler's one and only masterpiece,
By A Customer
This review is from: Let The Drum Speak (Paperback)
This is the only Shuler book that really, really counts. The rest, I think, are just pure trash. Finally, eight years after her first book in 1988 and four years after her second novel in 1992, she has improved a lot in dialogue and characterization.Concerned reader from the Philippines

Excellent and Traditional,
By Eric Macuski (Massillon, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let The Drum Speak (Paperback)
This book is an excellent way to learn about a time frame little known by archeaologists. Though fiction, it gives hint to some of the best theories running about today with the archaeologists. I highly recommend this book and all of Linda Lay Shuler's books to take a look into our prehistoric past.
