A battle between gods will determine an entire people's fate A thousand years ago, the mighty Cahokian civilization dominated the North American continent. At the heart of the empire stood a vast city, and power rested in one being, Morning Star, a god resurrected in the body of a living man.

With Sun Born, W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear take readers back to this amazing place with a tale of murder, magic, and the battle for a people's very soul. An old enemy has returned to Cahokia, bringing with him emissaries from a rival civilization. Lady Night Shadow Star, human sister of Morning Star, fears that they may be conquered by this technologically advanced culture.

The fact that the living god, Morning Star, is unwilling— or unable—to play a role in the outcome is a conundrum with horrific possibilities.
