Synopsis: The timeless tale of hope and redemption for a people, based on the ancient Cherokee myth Setting out on a path to become the tribe's medicine chief, Sunoya sees a vision of her people's annihilation. The sacred Eagle Feather Cape, handed down through the generations since being presented as a guiding talisman by Chief Thunderbird, has been worn down and tarnished. The hope of the people rests on Sunoya--and on her rescued and adopted son Dahzi--who must restore the balance and fulfill her quest in order to bring visions back to the Seer of the People. Dahzi seems chosen to lead his people out of the darkness, but he will have to overcome obstacles from his family and his community before ultimately fighting the barriers that have been lying within himself all along. Based on an ancient Cherokee myth and grounded in sensuous, captivating detail, The Promised One is the timeless tale of an unlikely young man and his resilient mother who will stop at nothing to bring redemption and glory back to the people, even if it means facing the Immortals head on.
