Panthera Yrrem Michael Modak

Long ago, in a universe very close to this one... deep in the ancient jungles of South America comes a story seeking the heart of truth. Panthera Yrrem and the Last Son of Atlantis. While on the path through the jungle, Yrrem saves a young boy from the teeth and claws of a hungry panther. She is heralded by the queen and all her people as the Jungle Avatar, High Priestess, Panthera Yrrem, the Thunderhead. The Dream Talkers, the quasi-religious leaders of the land, prophesy that a mighty warrior is coming, in the form of a baby boy, and Panthera Yrrem is chosen to raise the child. When the baby arrives, a ruined temple and a red star gem appear. A mighty warrior, Deif, attaches the red star onto a hatchet, and he gives it to Yrrem. As she holds it, she learns that she can do amazing things. Until the baby can control its tremendous power, she must learn to use the red star gem to keep him from destroying the world by accident. Will Yrrem learn to use the red-star-gem to subdue Dormen and all her enemies while unraveling the mystery of Atlantis's last hour? Or will the Red Dream Talkers steal the gem and use it to shape the future to their will?
