“This beautiful story grabs hold of you from the very start...it continues to hold you captive with the turning of each page as you continue your magical journey through the entire saga.. it is a fascinating exploration of the beginning of the story of humans and the beginning of civilization.” -Amazon Review “…The riverbank was full of pink and silver salmon squirming and flopping in the sandy shallows. There was fresh bear sign everywhere. This smaller river was called the Bear River for good reason. Emil knelt at the water’s edge, nervously filling his basket with the speckled fish. The far bank held even more of the grounded silver-scaled fish. The shallow stream sparkled in the sunlight. Kilan pointed to a massive bear claw mark high up a tree trunk, admitting, “You’re right, Emil, we’d better be quick. You stay here. We’ll grab all those fish on the other side and leave fast.” Emil pleaded, “Let’s just go now! The trees are too close to the water on the other side. We are downwind. If there are bears in that dark grove, Cloud can’t smell them!” The other three boys’ eyes just saw all the fresh fish flopping in front of them and didn’t listen. They hurriedly splashed across to the other side. Emil stayed put and focused on filling his basket as fast as possible. He tried to breathe through the dreadful feeling coming over him. Kilan was grabbing a trapped fish from the stream when he heard a twig snap behind him. He had that eerie sinking feeling you get when something is watching you. The boy shielded his brow from the glaring sunlight while looking back into the sage underbrush. Nothing. Kilan reached back into the stream for a big speckled fish. There was a nearly imperceptible sound behind him. The sound of a heavy padded foot. Kilan wouldn’t have heard the sound even if it wasn’t muffled by the flowing stream. The bad feeling was stronger. He knew it was time to go. Somehow, he was suddenly, inexplicably in the shade. Cloud growled from the opposite bank, just as Kilan saw the reflection of a colossal silvertip bear standing right behind him in the stream. The boys all screamed as the dark brown bear let out a ghastly gnashing roar. Lars and Mats seemingly flew back across the stream, howling in fear. The bear’s eyes followed them. Emil had drawn his knife and yelled, “No, no, don’t run! Only food runs!” There were no trees close enough to save them. Cloud looked at Emil, then the bear, and charged into the stream, baring his teeth in a fierce wolf snarl. Kilan frantically jumped splashing into the river. The Grizzly followed with a snort, catching him midstream. A huge paw smashed the struggling boy into the water, pinning him there. A barking Cloud splashing toward him was his last sensation, then there was nothing but blackness. Kilan never heard the sudden whistling sound. A thin wooden blur thumped into the bear’s dusty shoulder with great force… If you enjoyed this excerpt from The Eagle Feather, click the 'See details' button and treat yourself to an authentic new adventure series with four books and counting.… It all begins with Book one, "The Eagle Feather".
