ame Old Kaintuck would in time be shortened to "O.K."--easier to say after you've had a few--and come to mean the good stuff in any area of life. About the Author Robert Shea is the co-author of the epic fantasy _The Illuminatus! Trilogy_ and author of the two-volume _Shike_, among other novels. For many years he worked for magazines, and he has been writing novels full-time since 1977. He lives in Glencoe, Illinois. SHAMAN A man of potent magic and mystical vision SHAMAN Healer, future-teller, initiate into the mysteries of the spirit world SHAMAN A story of sacred Indian rites and the land-greed of an expanding new nation It was a time of bloody confrontation between the white man and the red man, a time when the pioneers of a new nation were pushing out across the Great Plains and yet the powerful spirits of an ancient mystical religion still held sway over the Indians. In this troubled, dangerous time, there is a man who has the privilege--and the curse--of belonging to both worlds. He is Gray Cloud, a disciple of the aging shaman Owl Carver. A handsome young half-breed, he is chosen by the Great Turtle to become the mystical leader of the Sauk people ... and summoned by his French-born aristocratic father to inherit the vast estate of Victoire. Here is the riveting drama of Gray Cloud's transformation into the powerful shaman White Bear, and his desperate struggle to reconcile the opposing forces of his white and Indian heritage. It is a sweeping epic of mysticism and history, of bitter love and brutal warfare, and of the tragic fate of an ancient people.
