This is the story of a camel.
Actually, it's the story of quite a few different birds and beasts, among them humans, some of the most ornery and admirable. But it starts with a camel. Camelops celeris, the last survivor of the camelids who once called the Nearctic realm home, managed to hold on while its cousins died out. It was a fluke, a small piece of biology that was retained in this land. And the consequences would be beyond imagining.
Welcome to a world where camelops celeris - known to alternate history as the nayoomee - has transformed the Nearctic long before Europeans arrived here. A world of farms and hunts, wampum shells and iron tools, ancient cities that touch the skies and new philosophies promising a return to nature. A world of plagues and warfare, opera without words and passenger pigeons.
A world of Ojibwe and Haudenosaunee, Mik'maq and Lenape, Lakota and Choctaw, Shoshone and Navajo, Salish and Miwok, Dene and Inuit, Taíno and Maya, Inca and Tupi.
