Cherokee Dream (Pleiades Homecoming Book 1)

Welcome to Attala. Land of Murder,  Mystery Mahem and a touch of Magic..
Someone is killing shapeshifters.
Even the Hidden races are worried...and they will kill to keep their secrets...
Instead of SpringBreak in Florida with beaches, boys and bikinis, Samantha finds herself stranded in the Pleiades Star system. 
Faced with the possibility of spending the rest of her life on Attala, the ancestral home of the Cherokee people, she sets out to find the lost Ka her only possible way home. 
There's just one problem, everyone wants her head...preferably without her body attached.  

While exploring the caves near the Cherokee Reservation, Samantha stumbles through a long forgotten portal and finds herself stranded in the Pleiades Star system, light years from home. Now with the help of Kih, a wolf shapeshifter and Trouble from Birth, her adopted brother, Sam seeks the lost Jannasi-Ke, her only way back home. But it won't be easy. Years of civil war have disrupted the planet and technology is all but forgotten by the Native population. And while the Tsalagi may be descended from their forefathers, the original people consider anyone except full-blooded Cherokee to be less than human. Women are little more than property. And with Sams blonde hair and light skin, no one would ever mistake her for a native. Her only chance rests in the strong hands of her Cherokee Dream.
