The novel traces Philip's life from his early years as a young warrior to his eventual leadership of his tribe and his tragic death in the King Philip's War of 1675-1676.Through the eyes of the book's narrator, the reader gets a glimpse into the world of the Wampanoag people and their interactions with the English colonizers who arrived in their land. The novel explores themes of cultural clash, identity, and the struggle for power and survival in a rapidly changing world.Furman's writing is rich in detail and historical accuracy, drawing on primary sources and accounts of the time to create a vivid and compelling portrayal of Philip and his world.
