    About this ebook

    Achak had always competed with his twin brother, Manchaug, from the moment they had left the womb. The forests and meadows of Sutton, Massachusetts had been their field of combat. But since Achak had fallen in love with Olathe, the tone of the challenges had darkened. No longer was it simply skill with the bow or tomahawk. Their annual canoe challenge had taken on more sinister shadows. 

    And the race had just begun ...

    Lisa Shea

    I love writing in a variety of genres. I currently have over 300 books published in all lengths from full 500+ page novels down to short stories. I love writing series. Some are with unconnected characters, like the 14 full-length medieval novels with a sword being passed from heroine to heroine. Some have connected characters, like the 31 mini-mysteries featuring a detective in Salem, Massachusetts. All of my books are written "clean" with no explicit intimacy, no harsh language, and no explicit violence. All are suitable for teens and up.

      "The village of Manchaug (and also the pond)

      derives its name from a noted Indian chief

      who was drowned in the pond …"

      -- History of the Town of

      Sutton, Massachusetts (1704-1876)
