    A deeply divided nation. Vicious politics. A shamelessly partisan media. A president loathed by half the populace. Smuggling and gang warfare along the Mexican border. Armed citizens willing to stand their ground and take law into their own hands.... 
    That was America in 1881. All those forces came to bear on the afternoon of October 26 when Doc Holliday and the Earp brothers faced off against the Clantons and the McLaurys in Tombstone, Arizona. It should have been a simple misdemeanor arrest. Thirty seconds and 30 bullets later, three officers were wounded, and three citizens lay dead in the dirt.

    “Stupendous Series!!! - This book and this series is simply stupendous. Part history, part fantasy and part love story is to only touch the surface of these books.” ~ Cecile Croghan “Iluvbooks” 
    “A Romance of the Spirit - I've read this entire book once, and I've read some parts of it twice. Why? Because it's a romance of the spirit, an evolving dance between character, setting, and knowledge.” ~ Von Rupert “Yvonne” 
    A Holy Man, who lives in both this world and the Spirit world, waits hidden in a cave in the canyons, as a newly made woman runs toward him. She flees her would-be suitor, who wants from her more than she can give. 
    The Holy Man and his constant companions, a colony of mice, accept the woman within the cave. She worries that he may be crazy, but given her fear of the man who desires her, maybe crazy is not so bad. 
    In this sequel to Ruby Standing Deer’s first novel, Circles, the main character of Shining Light is now grown and with family. He dreams of the woman and the Holy Man in the canyons, and knows that, after four seasons of calm and peace in the Forest of Trees, he must go to them. 
    He seeks guidance, but the Spirits tell him only that he must rescue these two people. Yet he need not go alone. Ever Shining Light’s faithful companion and Wolf Brother, White Paws senses he must follow his Human Brother. Thus, one Human, one Wolf, and their two families set out for the unknown. 
    The adventure exceeds all of Shining Light’s expectations, and he learns more about his place in this world than the Holy Peoples of his band could ever teach him. 
    EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the 2nd book in the extraordinary, award-winning “Shining Light’s Saga” series. Take an authentic journey into a culture lost to time and the ravages of “progress.”
