This first novel in the Cherokee Chronicles, a 7-book series, presents a rare glimpse into the ancient world of Cherokee witches and wizards. Set in a time remembered only in myths and legends, The First Raven Mocker is a coming of age story following a young Indian boy's quest to learn the fine art of black magic. In his quest, he encounters witches, sorcerers, magical "Little People" and man-eating giants. However, this is more than the archetypal Hero's journey with a twist. Courtney Miller has created an imaginative adventure tale, one which captures the ethos of Cherokee folklore and myth.
