El brutal asesinato de una joven la víspera de su boda amenaza con provocar un enfrentamiento interno entre los algonquinos. Los gritos de guerra, acompañados por el ritmo de los tambores, rompen el silencio de la noche anunciando un baño de sangre. En el ojo de la tormenta, un viejo apodado Pantera intenta apaciguar los ánimos. Temido como brujo, Pantera es el único miembro del clan con capacidad para cambiar el destino de su pueblo. Sus indagaciones, sin embargo, apuntan a una verdad siniestra: la tupida red de conspiraciones y mentiras que rodean el asesinato oculta unos secretos que, de ver la luz, acabarán por hacer realidad ese enfrentamiento anunciado. La tribu de la niebla es una nueva entrega de la serie de novelas sobre tribus prehistóricas escrita por los Gear, pareja de antropólogos especializados en el estudio de los indios norteamericanos. On the eve of her arranged marriage, a young woman named Red Knot is clubbed to death by an unknown assailant. Many eyes point to High Fox, the (young) man she planned to run away with. Sun Conch, who loves High Fox, goes off in search of the Panther, a reclusive man rumored to be a witch, to help solve the mystery of who killed the granddaughter of the community's leader and why. Continued skillful storytelling and very real tales. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

WithPeople of the Mist, bestselling authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear take us to the Chesapeake Bay of six hundred years ago, when the unprovoked and brutal murder of a young woman on the eve of her wedding threatens to turn the entire Algonquin Nation against itself in a brutal war that could destroy them as a people. No ordinary woman, Red Knot was the heir to the Greenstone Clan and the future leader of the independent villages. Her death has shattered all alliances and left a power void that several ambitious clan chiefs see as their destiny to fill. The very air vibrates with the drums and war cries of the rallying warriors. Into the eye of this brewing storm steps the bitter old man they call The Panther. Feared as a sorcerer, The Panther is the only one with the power to demand to be heard by all. But as he digs deeper into the ever-thickening web of lies surrounding the murder, and uncovers darker, more deeply rooted secrets, he fears there may be no words to stop the impending bloodshed.
