Notes

Summary: Maruka is different to the other girls; she likes to hunt and fish. But she should have stayed in the village the day the Kalinas tribe came and stole her mother. She would have stopped them. Two years later, Maruka sees white sails on the horizon. This time it isn't a Kalinas attack but a deadlier enemy - Spanish invaders. Her tribe welcome the pale-skinned men but are repaid with treachery and forced to mine gold. Maruka knows that the tribes must put aside their differences and defeat their common enemy. And if the tribes unite, Maruka might even find her mother again
