A battle-scarred Green Beret hiking the Appalachian Trail is drawn across time by a Cherokee shaman into pre-colonial North America, where he must confront a berserker ancestor whose ancient rage mirrors his own and break a violent curse before it claims his life and condemns the land to endless bloodshed.

About the Book
The Shaman and The Curse of The Last Berserker is a mythic supernatural thriller blending Cherokee tradition, Norse legend, and modern adventure into a journey across time.
Inspired by Native American tradition, Viking mythology, and the enduring search for redemption, Steven B. Newman weaves history, spirituality, survival, and authentic military experience into a story about the inheritance of violence—and whether one man can finally choose to end it. The Shaman explores courage, sacrifice, forgiveness, and the timeless struggle between vengeance and peace.
Each Author-Direct Edition is prepared, authenticated, and personally signed in small batches by Origin Works.
