Guardian of the Spring: A Floridian Mythology

Guardian of the Spring: A Floridian Mythology

An epic tale of myth, memory, and the price of peace. One boy stands between the world of men and the world of spirits. When Spanish ships arrive on the shores of Borikén, young Guarocuya, Taino by birth, is caught between two colliding worlds. As tensions rise and sacred lands come under threat, Guar joins Juan Ponce de Lon on a fateful expedition into the wilds of Florida, where the famed conquistador seeks the Fountain of Youth. But the path is not an easy one. As they venture deeper into and untamed land, Guar must navigate uneasy alliances, cultural rifts, and ancient forces that stir in the dark. Mythical beasts from Native American lore haunt their journey, testing both the strength of men and the will of the spirits. With each step, Guar is torn between loyalty to his people and a fragile hope for peace. And all the while, the spring awaits. Hidden, sacred, and fiercely protected.
