Conjuror

Holly Sullivan McClure

Within the tightly knit Cherokee community in the Smoky Mountains, a secret society of Snake Dancers is led by a group of elders, four of whom guard an artifact of incredible power. Guardianship has been passed from father to son for over 300 years. Theses artifacts belonged to Kanegwati, a medicine man who controlled the power of Uktena (an evil spirit) in order to protect the tribe. Even the guardians cannot reveal what they guard. The tradition of secrecy was set up by Kanegwati to prevent anyone from awakening Uktena. Grady Smoker has spent decades tracking the other guardians in order to pinpoint the location of each artifact. In a misplaced effort to regain power for the tribe, he unwittingly becomes the vessel for Uktena. Johnny has been under the watchful eye of the elders since he was a boy. Walker Copperhead is convinced Johnny is the long awaited Suyeta, the next conjuror. It isnt until Johnny comes face to face with Uktena that he realizes the Cherokee myths are true.
