    About this ebook

    Historical fiction for young readers aged 10-14 years.  Unique narrative featuring a horse and including a bonus story.  For fans of Michael Morpurgo and Michelle Paver.  
    When Tall Bull and the Cheyenne hunting party crossed the Arkansas river, and entered their enemies hunting ground in search of buffalo, little did they know that others were also crossing the same river. 
    Fierce looking men armed with bows, spears, and war-clubs, their upper bodies and faces daubed with paint. They were a Pawnee war-party returning to their village after a raid against their sworn enemies the Sioux. 
    Last to cross the river were men on horseback. Pale skinned men armed with swords, and muskets. They were Spanish Conquistadors, and they had come in search of Quivira, the city of gold. 
    Soon the paths of all three would cross, and when they did, Tall Bull would discover a creature that he had never seen before, an animal which would haunt his dreams, and one day change the lives of his people forever.

    Barry Cole

    I began writing by contributing stories and articles to the monthly magazines of two Native American charities. I then moved on to screenwriting after attending the London Screenwriters Workshop for two years. Since that time I have completed four feature length scripts and one short. Sadly, Hollywood did not come calling so I have now adapted three of my screenplays into novels and I am now working on a fourth.
