Harry Potter Fans Rejoice Here is a new novel which offers us a rare glimpse into the ancient world of Cherokee wizards. Set in a timeless aboriginal past, The First Raven Mocker is a coming of age story which follows a young Indian boy's quest to learn the fine art of black magic. Along the way, he encounters witches, sorcerers, and man-eating giants. However, as the reader soon learns, this is the archetypal Hero's journey with a twist. Courtney Miller has created an imaginative adventure tale, one which captures the ethos of Cherokee folklore and myth. -- Alan Kilpatrick
