In 1600s Virginia, a small colonial village sprang up unceremoniously on the sacred burial grounds of the Native American people it was taken from, the Nottoway. Now, an ancient evil has been awakened in the form of Elementals known as The Bird People and it is suspected that the Nottoway Tribe has cursed the ground in revenge for being encroached upon by colonial settlers. After failed crops, still births, deaths, burnt homes and facing starvation, superstitions run rampant and the townspeople do the only thing they can think of in the late 1600s to appease these angry and destructive spirits. Give them an offering. It is quietly decided by the elders of the community, in an effort to keep these spirits of the bird people at bay, that every woman should give up her first born infant daughter to them. One such young mother cannot bear this resolution much less imagine giving up her only child. In order to keep her only child, a daughter, she makes a baby out of straw and gives that instead, bringing chaos to their puritan village. A cursed girl. The man who loves her. A questionable death. Native American Lore. Elemental Guardians. A village built on sacred burial grounds.

You should write short stories that dog and cat story would be perfect if you don't publish it on Amazon. If you decide to publish it on Amazon I will edit it for free. I have edited a few kids books that are Amazon.

    I replied on your main page bc I couldn't get the comments to work for a moment here. Congratulations on your verified stories too!!! There is no spice in this book. It only has one paragraph of a person gets shot but non descriptive. It has some descriptions of the bird people and some creepy conversations for intensity but otherwise it is historical fiction.
