Where History Bends
Alternative stories shaped by real lives, real events—and the choices that never happened
Raven's Son
In the untamed borderlands of 19th-century America, Samuel Houston Rogers—known among the Cherokee as Little Raven—stands between two worlds he does not fully claim.
Raised in the traditions of his mother’s people yet haunted by the legacy of a father he never knew, Sam is pulled toward a future he cannot ignore. When a vision names him as one destined to unite divided nations, he must choose: remain in the life he loves, or journey into the unfamiliar world of the Yoneg to gain the knowledge needed to fulfill a calling far greater than himself.
As love, loyalty, and identity collide, Sam sets out on a path that will test his beliefs, challenge his place in both cultures, and shape the man he is meant to become.
A story of heritage, purpose, and the cost of bridging worlds, Raven’s Son explores what it means to belong—and what it takes to build something that has never existed before.
Rick Surles
A Texas native with a lifelong love of history, Richard Surles has always asked one question: “What if?” His stories follow the roads history didn’t take. Richard is married, with children, grandchildren, and a household that includes a few well-loved dogs.
