Red Prophet : The Tales of Alvin Maker, Book Two by Orson Scott Card

The Tales of Alvin Maker continue in Red Prophet, the second book in the historical fantasy series from the Hugo and Nebula award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Ender's Game.

Since the age of eleven, when he saw the white men murder his father, the Red Indian Lolla-Wossiky has been a pathetic drunk. His brother, Ta-Kumsaw, wishes to see whites confined to the eastern lands. But Governor Bill Harrison of the rough frontier town of Carthage has far more brutal plans for the Indians.

When he puts those plans into action, he unwittingly brings young Alvin Miller—a very special white boy with extraordinary magical powers—to Lolla-Wossiky and Ta-Kumsaw. And so begins the next stage of Alvin’s education.

Praise for this book

“One of the greats of contemporary science fiction and fantasy.”

—The Wall Street Journal

“Orson Scott Card is as fine a writer as we have.”

—The Los Angeles Times



“Card is a master storyteller.”

—The Seattle Times

“Red Prophet is but a section of a vast American fantasy epic. It is vividly written, and the principal actors--Alvin, Ta-Kumsaw, the Prophet, and Alvin's Gandalfesque mentor Taleswapper--are all complete and memorable characters.”

—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Harsher, bleaker, and more mystical than Seventh Son, this novel superbly demonstrates Card's solid historical research, keen understanding of religious experience, and, most of all, his mastery of the art of storytelling.”

—Booklist

About the Author

the epic of a powerful mage on the American frontier.

After serving as a missionary for the LDS Church in São Paulo, Brazil, he earned degrees at Brigham Young University and the University of Utah, worked as an editor of books and magazines, and wrote plays and audioplays. He lives in Greensboro, North Carolina with his wife, Kristine Allen Card. They are the parents of three adult children and grandparents of seven.
