New Novel from Award-Winning Author R.L. Herron No one knows how long the Cherokee have lived in the Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee. Artifacts have been found that indicate their ancestors were there more than 11,000 years ago...at the end of the last Ice Age. After the discovery of gold in their territory, one of the most despicable events in U.S. history began. The U.S. Army forcibly removed every Cherokee man, woman and child from the land they had occupied for untold generations. More than 5,000 died during the brutal 1200-mile forced migration. It has gone down in history as "The Trail of Tears". Award-winning author R.L. Herron has created a spine-tingling modern horror thriller where John Burnett is the latest member of his family to confront a Cherokee curse laid upon his bloodline in 1838, succumbing to terrors both mortal and supernatural.
