With the discovery of a young girl’s body by a group of young neighborhood boys, it became the starting point for what would be a lifetime of adventure. This adventure would be filled with the unexplainable and one that would become all-consuming for the young boy named Alex. The old wives’ tale of a crying woman who threw her children into the river became a search for answers and a journey to discover if the events actually occurred. The old dance hall sat boarded up for over twenty years as it stood across the river from the brick pits, the area that served as the playground for the boys. When young Alex began hearing all the legends about a man in black—a man who would kidnap women from dances—curiosity got the best of him. With this curiosity came obsession, one which would be the force that led the young man and his childhood buddies into pursuits beyond their imaginations. The further along they went into the realms, it wasn’t long before characters from past times began to manifest into his world—characters with malevolent intentions and an agenda that required the total destruction of the young man’s bloodline.

Compared to the wealth of information available to us about classical tragedy and comedy, not much is known about the culture of pantomime, mime, and dance in late antiquity.

The ghosts are calling…the dance is about to begin… The year is 1890, and the vanquished Native tribes see one fleeting ray of hope in the coming of the Ghost Dance religion. Its peaceful rituals promise the return of the buffalo herds and the resurrection of their great warrior nation. But a different dance is taking place in the mountains to the west. And it heralds the return of something far older… Only three stand against it—a legendary frontiersman struggling for a piece of his former glory, a Lakota Sioux mystic trying to save his own people from damnation, and a young daughter of the range who has to grow up fast and shoot even faster. In their hands lies not just the salvation of the West, but the fate of the earth for all eternity…

After dealing with human hunters killing werewolves for their pelts and a heretic witch determined to claim the wild magic for his own, the last thing either Lizzie Grace or Belle Kent need is a new evil burning into town. When Lizzie’s asked to find a missing woman, she’s well aware death awaits. What she doesn’t expect to find is a very human pile of skin next the woman’s body. Nor does she expect to be called to a murder scene that has the classic hallmarks of a vampire attack… except the bite marks don’t match any recorded vampire bite. As the body count grows, Lizzie, Belle, and Aiden struggle to find—and stop—whoever or whatever is behind the atrocities. But there’s an even greater danger on the horizon. The newly appointed reservation witch has arrived… and it’s someone Lizzie knows.

The dancer went through several lifetimes of reincarnation, looking for the experience of true love. Among all living things, everyone wished to remember their past and present lives, but who could understand the pain within?
