Summary

Deadwood meets The Lord of the Rings in this epic fantasy of the West!

Hungry darkness, haunted guns, tunnels that move like snakes—the crystal mines of Medicine Rocks, Montana, are a place only the bravest and greediest dare. Discovered in 1866, the miraculous rock known as crystal quickly rose to become the most expensive substance on the planet, driving thousands to break the treaties and invade the sacred buffalo lands of the Sioux. But mining crystal risks more than an arrow in the chest. The beautiful rock has a voice of its own. A voice that twists minds and calls unnatural powers.

A voice that turns men into monsters.

Mary Good Crow hears it. Half White, half Lakota, rejected by both, she’s forged a new life guiding would-be miners through the treacherous caves. To her ears, the crystal sings a beautiful song, one the men she guides would gladly burn her as a witch for hearing. So, when an heiress from Boston arrives with a proposition that could change her life, Mary agrees to push deeper into the caves than she’s ever dared.

But there are secrets buried in the Deep Caves that even Mary doesn’t know. The farther she goes, the closer she gets to the voice that’s been calling her all this time. A voice that could change the bloody story of the West or destroy it all.

Great story, great characters, interesting world!

This magical intertwining of fantasy and western is a great read. It has the grittiness of Deadwood, not shying away from the racism and sexism of the 1870s and brutal nature of a frontier town lost in the madness of a 'gold' rush, BUT it also has main characters who have different/less bigoted perspectives because of their various pasts. This makes the harsh world much easier to deal with and gives the story a hopeful note. The characters unfold or develop in a way that makes you want to continue on with their stories. I love Rachel Aaron as a writer and I love this story. I can't wait for more!
