Book 1—
THE LEGEND OF NI RAHÚ CAVE: Meet Kayabó and his sister Anani, who live in the small Taíno fishing village of Kaleta on the Caribbean Coast of Hispaniola in 1488. Kayabó is about to transition to manhood. With the help of his spirit guide, a green sea turtle that is the reincarnation of his grandfather, Kayabó and Anani discover a secret cave with incredible natural formations, as well as pictographs, petroglyphs, and a subterranean lake with fresh water. The discovery saves their people from a severe drought. 

This is Book Two in Dr. Lynne Guitar’s “Taíno Ni Rahú (Children of the Water) Series.” All 10 books in the series take place just as Christopher Columbus and his Spainsh crew are about to disrupt the Taínos’ lives forever.
The books are in both English and Spanish. They include guides to the books’ historical backgrounds; character names and backgrounds; and pronunciation and extended explanations of Taíno words used.

Author autobiography: Dr. Lynne A. Guitar (Ph.D. in Colonial Latin American History and Cultural Anthropology from Vanderbilt University), is an historian, cultural anthropologist, and specialist in the history and culture of the Taíno, the natives of the Greater Antilles. She lived, worked, and researched in the Dominican Republic for nearly 22 years and half a year each in Spain and Puerto Rico. She has been featured in documentaries for the BBC, History Channel, and Discovery Channel, among others, and has published numerous professional articles and book chapters. These are her first works of historical fiction, although the stories have been perking in her head for years. Her Taíno Ni Rahú Series was written for Young Adult Readers—she defines that as readers between the ages of 10 and 110.

The Taino Ni Rahu books are beautifully illustrated by Natalie 'Tali' Saxton de Perez
