Publisher's Summary

Sonoran Desert. Dawn of the 16th century.

Aiyana isn't like the other girls of the White Ant Clan. Instead of keeping house, she longs to compete on the Ball Court with her best friend Honovi and the other boys. Instead of marriage, she daydreams of traveling beyond the mountains that surround her small village. Only Honovi knows and shares her forbidden wish, though Aiyana doesn't realize her friend has a secret wish of his own...

When Aiyana's father arranges her marriage to a man she hardly knows, she takes the advice of a tribal elder: run! In fleeing, she falls into the hands of Spanish raiders and finds herself being taken over the mountains against her will. Now Aiyana's on a quest to return to the very place she once dreamed of escaping. And she'll do whatever it takes to survive and find her way back to the people she loves.

Critic Reviews

“Readers will cheer for the intrepid Aiyana and brave Honovi…Fichera has done such a great job conveying Aiyana's Native American culture…” ( RT Book Reviews)

Captive Spirit

I was not sure what to expect going into this story. What an emotional rollercoaster. One minute there is happiness and then devastation. Absolutely recommend.
Narration was just as good. Kelly Lintz really brought the characters to life.
