People of the Morning Star

In "People of the Morning Star," award-winning archaeologists W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear unveil the remarkable story of Cahokia, a bustling ancient city that flourished around St. Louis. As a polyglot society of hundreds of thousands forms, they are drawn together by the miraculous resurrection of the divine hero Morning Star. However, stability is threatened when an assassination attempt is made on him, prompting his aunt, Matron Blue Heron, to unravel a conspiracy that could plunge Cahokia into civil war. The narrative explores themes of faith, power, and survival in a world on the brink of chaos.
