Guardian of the Hills
After her father's death, the hardships of the Depression compel sixteen-year-old Pamela and her half-Indian mother back to Flat Hills, Arkansas. Tensions mount as Pamela's wealthy grandfather embarks on an excavation of the pyramid-shaped hills from which the town takes its name - hills the Indians regard as sacred. As men and machinery move into the dig site, accidents and mishaps multiply, and crows begin to gather in the hellish heat -- thousands of them, ominous and waiting. Below the hills, something terrible is waking, an ancient evil eager to be free. Pamela must face the choice her mother rejected years ago: to fight the battle to become Guardian of her tribe, or to unleash the spirit of Stern Dreamer upon the world.
