English settlers are landing on the shores of the New World, and tensions between native tribes and the invaders are rising.Little Hawk’s fate becomes irreversibly entwined with that of John, a young English boy who dares to question intolerance.

Recensioner i media

GHOST HAWK is the work of a writer with great imaginative power and long-practised narrative skill. I was swept up in the story, shocked, moved, and enthralled - and completely convinced by the historical background. I haven't read anything better for a long time.
