The Peacemaker’s Tale is a seven-book series by W. Michael Gear that centers on the founding of the Iroquois Confederacy. The series shares some titles with the First North Americans sequence while adding new entries published in 2024, including Shadowed Forest, The Dusk Country, Blood Lightning, and Eclipse Dancer.
The series focuses on one of the most significant political achievements in pre-Columbian North America: the creation of the Iroquois League of Five Nations. Gear uses his archaeological knowledge to recreate the world in which this confederation formed, telling stories of diplomacy, warfare, and the pursuit of peace among peoples who had been at war.
