Publisher Description

The Tales of Alvin Maker continue in Red Prophet, the second book in the historical fantasy series from the Hugo and Nebula award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Ender's Game.

Since the age of eleven, when he saw the white men murder his father, the Red Indian Lolla-Wossiky has been a pathetic drunk. His brother, Ta-Kumsaw, wishes to see whites confined to the eastern lands. But Governor Bill Harrison of the rough frontier town of Carthage has far more brutal plans for the Indians.

When he puts those plans into action, he unwittingly brings young Alvin Miller—a very special white boy with extraordinary magical powers—to Lolla-Wossiky and Ta-Kumsaw. And so begins the next stage of Alvin's education.

The Tales of Alvin Maker series: Seventh Son, Red Prophet, Prentice Alvin, Alvin Journeyman, Heartfire, The Crystal City, Master Alvin.
