In the weeks following the bear attack, two mysterious strangers walk into the village and teach Miko the magic of a far away land. Their arrival coincides with a series of disasters-flood, earthquakes, attacks from a neighboring village and a mysterious disease. As he makes his way through disaster after another, Miko learns about the legend of the Soul Eater, the great evil force of the universe. In time, the young boy learns the secrets of dark side of the universe from the village shaman. With the help of the mysterious strangers, Miko and his father come to terms with their mortality-and put their lives on the line for the survival of the village. REVIEWS "The force of evil cannot be deterred so easily. "The Legend of the Soul Eater" is a novel set two thousand years among [the Native Americans who inhabited] the Mississippi Valley. Miko, son of the chief, encounters the force known as the Soul Eater, and he learns about its nature, and finds that he and his father must stand against them and learn the rules of mortality. "The Legend of the Soul Eater" is riveting fantasy of pre-colonial America, a strong pick for those looking for something different."-Midwest Book Review, September 2012
