The Vision Feather

John Cameron disobeys his grandfather's injunction not to open a carved wooden box on the shelf above the fire and inside it finds an eagle feather. On touching the feather John finds himself in an alien landscape threatened by a mysterious, vaguely glimpsed figure. Fleeing, John encounters a strange man who leads him to the Bird People of River Bend where John learns he is on a Vision Quest and is advised to find an aging seer who should be able to advise him. Accompanied by the beautiful princess of the Bird People, John encounters many life threatening trials before reaching the seer ...

Transported back to his present John finds his quest, far from being over, and no longer a vision, has now entered an even more dangerous, concrete phase ...

A cunningly woven tale of myth, mythical beings, and historical fact - The Cherokee Trail of Tears of 1838 - this story grips the reader all the way to the surprising ending.
