The Carnival Has Faced Monsters Before—But This One Is Hungry for More Than Just Blood.

The Thunder & Shield Traveling Carnival has seen its share of darkness, but nothing could prepare them for what waits in the shadows of South Dakota’s badlands.

Shortly after setting up at a local fairground, Mr. Atlas—strongman, wrestling champion, and carnival owner—is visited by an old friend. Sheriff Peter Hahkota, a tribal police officer and former code talker from the war, has come with a desperate plea. Something ancient and merciless has been slaughtering people on the reservation, and no ordinary lawman can stop it.

Peter knows a secret: Atlas, his partner Saul Abraham, and his adopted son Carny, have powers far beyond the reaches of regular men. Together, this unlikely band of carnival misfits has battled horrors beyond human understanding—and survived.

Now, deep in Lakota land, they face something more terrifying than any nightmare. A wendigo—a creature of endless hunger and supernatural speed—has awakened, and the prairie winds carry its whispers of death. As mutilated bodies pile up and an ancient curse stirs, the carnies and tribal police must work together to stop the beast before the entire reservation is consumed.

A gripping blend of supernatural horror, folklore, and relentless action, Sun Dance is a must-read for fans of Stephen Graham Jones, Jim Butcher, and those who love their fantasy dark, their monsters terrifying, and their heroes unforgettable.

The wendigo is awake. The hunt has begun. And not even the strongest among them may survive the coming storm.
