Book description
An after-school job in the extraordinary collection of a peculiar
Antiquarian takes a startling turn for Carlos and Sage. In a terrifying
moment, they become part of the history surrounding them. It is 1692 and
the stakes are high, very high, as a conquering army's march threatens
to bring genocide to an ancient people and their culture. Can Carlos,
riding as the Captain General's aide, and Sage, the granddaughter of a
Tewa Indian leader, forestall a massacre and bring about peace and
religious tolerance? MATTHEW BACA was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
where his family has ranched and farmed since the first days of European
colonization, and continues to do so to this day. When not living the
country life, he can be found conducting research at the University of
New Mexico. Matthew's writing was first recognized by the Recursos de
Santa Fe Discovery Competition for his award winning short story “A
Taste from the Past.” This is his first novel.
