From the author of the epic historical fantasy THE PIRATE EMPRESS comes a charmer of a fantasy: BLUE RAVEN: Legend of the Bear Man This novella is book one of a trilogy based on Deborah Cannon's award-winning short story Twilight Glyph, whose inspiration came from ancient Native rock art. It is a prehistoric fable and an imaginary history to The Raven Chronicles. Before the events in RAVEN DAWN, THE RAVEN'S POOL, WHITE RAVEN, RAVENSTONE and RAVEN'S BLOOD archaeologist Jake Lalonde's Haida ancestors had their own adventures-giving rise to the 10,000-year-old shaman of the Raven myths, Jake's forefather.

Or is there a more logical answer to the mystery? From the moment the prim and proper British curator of the Alexander Keiller Museum disappears, and her face emerges in one of the standing stones of Avebury's ancient stone temple, pragmatic, half-Haida archaeologist Jake Lalonde's life takes a bizarre turn. Engaged to one gorgeous woman, but secretly in love with another, Jake finds himself involved in the complicated lives of four individuals: his fiancée, an ambitious manipulator who came into his life out of nowhere, an ex Interpol agent who insists he's a ghost, a beautiful grad student who believes she was engaged to him in a past life, and a celebrity author who claims she can time travel. As the web of deceit tightens around him his calm, rational, academic world is about to implode.
