Book Description
Peace River is a location near Lake Hancock, north of present-day Bartow. Seminole hunting towns on Peace River lay in a five or six mile wide belt of land centered on and running down the river from Lake Hancock to below present-day Fort Meade. Oponay, who also was named Ochacona Tustenatty, was sent into Florida as a representative to the Seminoles on behalf of the Creek chiefs remaining loyal to the United States during the Seminole War. Oponay occupied the land adjacent to Lake Hancock and Saddle Creek. Peter McQueen and his party occupied the area to the south of Bartow. Quite likely their settlement included the remains of Seminole lodges and other facilities located on the west bank near the great ford of the river at Fort Meade. This important strategic position would have allowed the Red Sticks (Indians) to control not only access to the hunting grounds to the south, but communication and the trade with the Cuban fishermen at Charlotte Harbor, as well as the passage of representatives of Spain and England through the harbor.

Book Description
Anthropologist Yute Nahadeh stumbles upon the scientific discovery of the millenia: a tiny embryo in the womb of a 25,000-year-old Neanderthal, preserved in arctic ice. So begins a secret research. He implants the embryo in a surrogate mother, and a Neanderthal girl is born in our time. Named Ember, she is raised among the Quanoot Indians of Whaler Bay, Washington. Guided by a shaman who has waited for her return, pursued by the man of science who brought her to life, Ember is drawn to a place where no one else can go—where her ancestors, the golden-skinned people of her dreams, wait for her to set them free. “Weaves a genuinely magic spell.” Kirkus Reviews
