The Revenge of Dead Horse Canyon: Sweet Medicine Spirits – Novavose

The Dead Horse Canyon Saga concludes…

Paralyzed from the latest attempt on her life, Sara returns to Colorado where Charlie promises to help her regain her health. While some progress is made, before they can help her walk again the unthinkable happens, which disrupts and redirects their plans.

Having promised his grandfather, Eaglefeathers, that someday he would complete his four-day ceremonial fast, Charlie journeys to the Sacred Mountain, Bear Butte in South Dakota, where he experiences a series of visions that reveal the full scope of his destiny. He is charged with restoring the ancient Earth Giving Ceremony known as the Massaum as well as another ceremony that had been misused and misunderstood in the past, negating its effects.

A Peace Gathering of Indigenous Leaders is scheduled for later that year. Has the time come at last for all tribes to band together to fulfill Black Cloud’s curse as well as other 19th century prophecies?

Phase I of the PURF complex is complete. A gala open house to celebrate is scheduled to occur around the same time as the Gathering. While the underground facility is filled to the brim with corrupt lobbyists, contractors, and government officials, not far away a host of First Nation Americans are entrenched in a ceremony celebrating an ancient prophecy that promises to restore them to their land.

What could possibly go wrong?

Reviewed by Jamie Michele

“Do not become afraid when the Sweet Medicine Spirits come to you. Do not disobey them. Be humble and do what you are told.”

The Revenge of Dead Horse Canyon by Marcha Fox and Pete Risingsun stands out for its sharp writing and complete ability to immerse readers, especially in Charlie’s spiritual transformation. Poor Sara just cannot get a break. Attacked, paralyzed, kidnapped, and then labeled a domestic terrorist and sanctioned! This isn’t just a fight for survival; this is about the power of truth in the face of overwhelming opposition.

Charlie fits into this description, with a spectacular ceremony for Sara’s healing, but also as a powerful catalyst when he is in the presence of Grandmother Earth and the consequences of his actions. Fox and Risingsun are a dream writing team in every way, and, culturally, this portrayal of Charlie’s heritage is painted from the sky to the smallest pebble and the fire burning in between. The pacing is elevated by point of view shifts and all the drama, but also a surprising relationship transformation as well. Ultimately, this finale succeeds with a perfect 10 landing.

Very, very highly recommended.
