An orphan boy, Totsuhwa, is taken under the wing of legendary Cherokee war chief Tsi'yugunsini, the Dragon. But even under a dragon's wing isn't safe when a covetous nation forms around them.
Amid the battles, Totsuhwa fights the reoccurring pain of loss until he meets Galegi, who becomes his wife. Trying to raise their son in a peace the new world won't allow, they teach him the strictest Cherokee traditions while white assimilation, encroachment, and treachery grows. General Andrew Jackson wages war against tribes across the southeast and the toll is high. With his people gradually losing everything, Totsuhwa must find a way to save his family - and the Cherokee nation - before all is lost.
Cherokee Talisman recreates the neglected history that existed when one nation was born and another almost died.
