Publisher's summary
When the rugged son of a German immigrant clashes with a proud Native American, will their connected destinies go down in history?
The American frontier, 1777. Lewis Wetzel, age 14, and his brother are alone on the family farm. Suddenly, Lewis is struck in the chest by a musket ball and falls to the ground. He looks up to see the painted faces of the attacking Native Americans and quickly rises to his feet. He and his brother begin to run for their lives but are quickly captured.
Knotche, the leader of the attackers, had sworn vengeance for his father’s murder. When the trespassers ignore warnings and built a cabin near his tribe’s land, Knotche vows to strike and take no prisoners. The captured boys impress Knotche with their courage and fighting spirit. He reluctantly agrees to keep them alive and train them as warriors.
Fearing they’ll be turned into savages, Lewis and his brother escape. Lewis begins a relentless quest to kill every ‘red devil’ in ruthless retaliation. And as Knotche struggles against the violent invasion of his homeland, he races toward a brutal confrontation with his sworn enemies. In a country built upon blood and survival, the question is which man will live and who will die.
The Wetzels is the gritty first book in the Warriors YA historical fiction series. If you like complex characters, engaging action, and stories based upon real people and events, you’ll love The Wetzels and all the Warriors series of books by Norbert Aubrey.
