📝 Description: Sisters of the Lost Nation

Nick Medina’s debut novel centers on Anna Horn, a young woman navigating life on a reservation while confronting both human cruelty and supernatural terror. Bullies torment her daily, and entitled visitors at the local casino add to her stress. More dangerously, she is stalked by a nameless entity drawn from an ancient tribal myth, an entity intent on consuming her. As strange events unfold around the casino, Anna suspects that not all horrors are relics of the past. The situation escalates when girls begin to disappear, prompting the tribe to search for answers. Anna struggles with her identity and place within the community, believing the solution lies in her tribe’s legends. When her younger sister Grace vanishes, Anna becomes determined to rescue her. She faces demons that are both old and new, realizing that untold stories hold significant power. This narrative blends contemporary reservation life with mythological horror, offering a tense exploration of family bonds and cultural heritage.
