WORLD OF SILENCE
From birth he'd been called Speaks-Not.  Deaf and mute, he lives  in a world of silence apart from his people, who later rename him  Hunts-Alone for his usual but successful approach to securing  sustenance from the wild game that roams the land.  Stronger than his  handicap, he finds love, establishes his own lodge, and begins a family  of his own--all of which is shattered forever the day the Forest People  attack his encampment.  Now Hunts-Alone is left with nothing but his  young granddaughter and the desperate need to survive in an enemy  country.  In the years to come, years of painful trial and breathtaking  wonder, the old man and the young girl will follow a path of destiny,  boldly carrying the seeds of their ancient heritage into an uncertain  future.
