Red Prophet
Description
The Tales of Alvin Maker continue in Red Prophet, the second book in the historical fantasy series from the Hugo and Nebula award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Ender's Game.
Since the age of eleven, when he saw the white men murder his father, the Red Indian Lolla-Wossiky has been a pathetic drunk. His brother, Ta-Kumsaw, wishes to see whites confined to the eastern lands. But Governor Bill Harrison of the rough frontier town of Carthage has far more brutal plans for the Indians.
When he puts those plans into action, he unwittingly brings young Alvin Miller-a very special white boy with extraordinary magical powers-to Lolla-Wossiky and Ta-Kumsaw. And so begins the next stage of Alvin's education.

Person
ORSON SCOTT CARD may be best known for his science fiction (including Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead), but, regretting the lack of fantasy novels set in the American past, he started the Tales of Alvin Maker,
the epic of a powerful mage on the American frontier.
Card was born in 1951 in Richland, Washington, and went to school in Santa Clara, California; Mesa, Arizona; and Provo, Utah. After serving as a missionary for the LDS Church in São Paulo, Brazil, he earned degrees at Brigham Young University and the University of Utah, worked as an editor of books and magazines, and wrote plays and audioplays. He lives in Greensboro, North Carolina with his wife, Kristine Allen Card. They are the parents of three adult children and grandparents of seven.
