Conquistadors of the Mesa Verde (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999581365)

Clyde LeBouef is a tortured soul with a haunted past. Having survived the horrors of the Vietnam War, he returns home to Louisiana, desperate to reclaim some semblance of a normal life. But peace proves elusive.

His wife, exhausted and heartbroken by his unraveling state, pleads with him to seek out help-real help.

At her urging, Clyde agrees to undergo a hypnotherapy session unlike any other, orchestrated by a powerful Witch.

Under her spell, Clyde is thrust into a vision more vivid than memory, and more ancient than dream.

He becomes someone else entirely.

Cristobal Trujillo, a Conquistador captain, fearless and hungry for glory, sails to the New World, drawn by legends of gold and eternal fame. With a hardened crew, and a cryptic Native guide, he sets off on an epic expedition, deep into uncharted wilderness. Their journey twists through peril and revelation, into the sacred homeland of a people untouched by time.

As Clyde relives the Captain's triumphs and tragedies, the boundary between past and present begins to blur. The echoes of this forgotten legend stir something within him-a forgotten truth, veiled since time immemorial. The legacy of his ancient counterpart reverberates forward, illuminating the dark corners of Clyde's fractured soul, and in the shadow of that overwhelming darkness, a lost light begins to rise.
