In 1561, a 15 year old son of an Algonquian chief is abducted, taken to Spain, and placed under the control of the Jesuits. He is educated and trained as an interpreter with the intent to use him as part of a Spanish plot to dominate the Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia. Armed only with his great strength, unique knowledge, and powerful longbow, this enigmatic warrior rose up to lead his people against the inevitable European invasion that he knew was destined to come on the wind.

This fictional account is given from the perspective of Opechancanough and the natives of the New World. More than anything else, it is the story of one man's lifelong efforts to stop the relentless encroachment of those that would seek to dominate his people and change forever their way of life. Much of this novel is based on actual historical events, myths, and legends surrounding the life of Paramount Chief Opechancanough of the Powhatan Confederation of Tribes. The author was inspired to write this novel after learning he is a direct descendant of Opechancanough.
