The Serpent's Coil Legacy BOOK 3: The Cherokee Heartstone

Ethan Kane confronts new dangers and ancient wisdom in the Cherokee Nation in The Cherokee Heartstone, the thrilling third novel of The Serpent's Coil Legacy.

After surviving a disastrous western expedition, scholar Ethan Kane is violently rerouted by his ruthless patron, Julien Devereaux. New orders, fueled by obsession, send him into the sacred Cherokee Nation in Tennessee (c. 1820-21) on a perilous quest for the "Solakari Heartstone." Amidst rising tensions and the shadow of Indian Removal, Ethan and Captain Rourke's party find a sacred mound desecrated and revered elder Yonaguska vanished. Suspicion points to the sinister U.S. Major Elias Thorne. They forge a tense alliance with the determined Anawa, Yonaguska’s kin, to investigate and rescue the elder.

Their pursuit leads to a violent confrontation, Thorne’s defeat, and Yonaguska’s rescue. The elder then unveils the true "Heartstone": not a Solakari gem, but a sacred Cherokee river stone. Through ancient ritual, it glows with an inner light, revealing a vision – a westward path “towards where the sun sleeps on water,” an ancient trail of the "First People."

Trusting this genuine guidance, the expedition turns west. Led by Anawa’s wilderness knowledge and Yonaguska’s ancestral counsel, they endure brutal overland treks, near-starvation, and thirst. Ethan, now a documenter of truth, learns profound respect for indigenous wisdom as they leave the Cherokee highlands and enter Muscogee (Creek) territory. After surviving desperate trials and receiving somber warnings from Creek hunters, their arduous journey culminates on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, the legendary "Father of Waters," fulfilling the Heartstone’s prophecy.

A factual report is dispatched to Devereaux. Ethan, profoundly changed, faces an unknown future. What awaits on the great river south? The Serpent’s Coil Legacy continues its deadly unspooling...
