Toomrah the Prophet

7 pp · Fantasy

A young prophet named Toomrah gains fame among tribes across the land for his genuine visions of coming hardship—warnings of floods and drought that save his people from disaster. But when strange, unbidden visions begin to plague him, his gift falters, and a false prophet named Shonowah rises to take his place, promising only peace and plenty while the people turn against the banished Toomrah. As history unfolds, the truth of Toomrah's cryptic warnings about pale strangers and the conquest of native lands becomes impossible to deny.
