The epic story of a world before Columbus―and a woman bound by a sacred legacy that will live for all time…
She is called Antelope, the daughter of Kwani―She Who Remembers. Possessed of the same mystical powers that made her mother beloved and feared, Antelope takes her infant daughter and follows her wandering mate to the fabled city of the Great Sun. Here, her beauty arouses the lust of the city’s supreme ruler―a man who will become her most terrible enemy. And here, in a place of primitive splendor and savage human sacrifice, far from her people and torn from the man she loves, Antelope must struggle for her survival…and to keep her child safe at all costs.

From Publishers Weekly The third book of Shuler's Time Circle Quartet should please admirers of She Who Remembers and Voice of the Eagle while immediately drawing in readers new to the story of Antelope, daughter of the revered teacher Kwani Keeper and herself a teacher of the secrets of womanhood. Antelope, an Anazsasi of ancient America, is one of a long line of Chosen Ones who can call the spirits and communicate with her predecessors. She is also the loving mate of Chomoc, who has a wandering eye. Because she fears losing Chomoc, Antelope has insisted on accompanying him on a trading journey to the City of the Great Sun, even though she is still nursing their infant daughter, Skyfeather. But at the city, Antelope and Chomoc are not welcomed by the shaman and his chief, the Great Sun, who suspect and fear their powers. When Antelope sees into the spirit of the Great Sun, she realizes he is hiding a terrible secret and urges Chomoc to leave the area. But her mate is captivated by the beautiful and powerful queen of the City of the North. When Chomoc deserts his wife and daughter, Antelope must use all her powers to defend herself and her child, and to find a way back to her people. Shuler tells this tale in prose turbulent enough, and strokes broad enough, to paint over the sketchiness of her characters. Buttressed by considerable research (bibliography included), it's a bracing read. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Library Journal This sequel to She Who Remembers (LJ 2/15/88) and The Voice of the Eagle (LJ 6/1/92) follows Antelope, the new "She Who Remembers"; her mate, Chomoc; and their daughter, Skyfeather, as they leave their native Southwest to travel to what is now Oklahoma. Like her mother, Kwani, Antelope faces many dangers in her adventures among strangers. Abandoned by her wandering husband, she is gradually assimilated into the life of the Hasinai, even becoming the beloved mate of their leader, the Great Sun. However, she is torn between her love for him and the need to return to her own clan to warn them of the terrible forthcoming events she has seen in a vision. Although the ending seems a bit rushed and the epilog condenses the future to two pages, Shuler has added an interesting new culture to her well-researched series in this, the third book of a promised quartet. It should be as popular as its predecessors.?Barbara E. Kemp, SUNY at Albany Libs.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Booklist This third novel in the author's best-selling Time Circle quartet about pre-Columbian America follows She Who Remembers (1989) and The Voice of the Eagle (1992). The time is the thirteenth century, and Antelope, of the Anasazi Indians (in what would later be the state of New Mexico), must carry on the wise-woman tradition passed on to her by her mother so that, when the time comes, she can hand the information and powers she possesses over to her daughter. Antelope has cause to leave her home territory and wander eastward to the land of the mound builders, where her mysticism puts her fortunes in jeopardy. How she triumphs over this adversity results in an authentically detailed narrative, smoothly integrating the results of the author's archaeological and anthropological research. Expect wide interest. Brad Hooper

A moving and heart rending novel By A Customer Having just finnished this book when i really should have been writing my thesis all i can say is that heck i'm glad i did!! After tentative beginnings i began to wonder weather the novel would hold up without Kwani the previous main character, but it developed into truly one of the best books i have ever read. I laughed and cried but above all i was swept back to that ancient and sometimes savage world with such ease. i could not put this book down and when i finnished it i did so with a great sadness that no further novel awaits me to carry on the saga. Escapist maybe, but truly a magnificent sweeping saga of immense magnitude...Read it!!
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Overall a good read By Karen A. Mclarney Out of the three books, I have to admit I enjoyed Voice of the Eagle, the 2nd one, the best. I found that Antelope's character was softened quite a bit and she turned into Kwani. Perhaps this was done purposely to show an evolution of the character. I also found that Ms. Shuler tends to repeat her phrasing for her imagery over and over throughout the trilogy. Much of it becomes predictable and tired. The final ending seemed to be rushed and it becomes quite clear that the author was not going to continue the story line. Nonetheless, I think I would have preferred a little less "tragedy" in Antelope's life and perhaps a bit more focus on the outcome of her final goal - to return home.All in all, I enjoyed the trilogy and recommend it to others. I found it rekindled some aspects of my spirituality that had been neglected. Perhaps better attention to some details in terms of characterization and editing would have improved the trilogy.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A good read, but confusing By LilyPatch I found this book disturbing. There were a lot of errors in the storyline-confusions where it appeared the author mixed Antelope up with her mother, Kwani (A lot of the backstory given for Antelope was really Kwani's) Chomac is essentially Kokopelli, which doesn't jive with "Voice of The Eagle" where he essentially swears to follow Yatosha's footsteps and was disheartned by Kokopelli's lack of respect.It really feels like instead of a continuation, this book is "What would happen if Kwani followed Kokopelli home instead of meeting Tolonqua". Not only that, but why is Antelope's child named Skyfeather? In Voice of the Eagle she says she names her daughter Kwani.There were errors in "Voice of The Eagle" in story flow, for instance: Acoya talks about his love for Whitecloud before he even meets her, and Tolonqua and Yatosha's names are switched several times.. also one of the characters is named Lapu, which earlier in "voice of the eagle" Kwani used as an insult at Owa. Lapu was said to mean the shredded bark used for diapering and toiletry, and that it was an extreme insult and never used as a name.... yet a few chapters later a young boy named "Lapu" is introduced. Despite these errors, "Voice of the Eagle" was a much better read then "Let the Drums speak". "Let the Drum speak" was so riddled with holes and story line flaws, I was unable to take it seriously.A good read, if you read it seperatly from the series and take it at face value. But if really enjoy the other two books in the series, or can't stand crooked story lines, stay away, you will find it tired and pedentric.
