Anompolichi : the wordmaster

Summary: Fourteenth-century Scottish sailing master Robert Williams leaves port for a short, but profitable voyage around the British Isles, his ship laden with cargo including the king's goat. A sudden and powerful storm erupts, sending his ship farther off course than he or any of his seasoned crew have journeyed before, driving them into astonishing discovery and relentless tragedy, and flinging Robert into a world unlike any he has imagined. In that new world, he meets a remarkable Native American man who recognizes him from a dream Iskifa Ahalopa, known by his people as an anompolichi, a wordmaster. Robert and his new friend soon find themselves caught up in unforeseen depths of intrigue and danger, brought before astounding spectacle, and plunged into perilous adventure in the New World long before history recorded its discovery. -- Amazon.com.
