☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue features two main stories: "The Attila of the Desert," in which a mysterious spiritual figure appears to the Pueblo peoples during Spanish colonial times, claiming to be a warrior sent by the gods to help them fight the Spanish, though the tale is tied to accusations of witchcraft and violence; and "Redskin," in which the magical warrior Redskin, possessor of the Magic Bow and Silver Tipped Arrows of Justice, is summoned by Cheyenne chiefs to solve the riddle of an "Army of the Dead" that terrorizes their people, discovering a supernatural threat that he must combat with his flaming arrows.
When young Harrison Hayworth III tumbles from his father's moving train in Cheyenne territory, Redskin finds the spoiled boy lost and injured—but rescue is just the beginning of their troubles. When ruthless prospectors discover the millionaire's son and demand a ransom, Redskin must call upon his magic bow and silver-tipped arrows of justice to track down the kidnappers and bring the boy home safely. A clash between wilderness survival and greed tests whether the headstrong easterner can learn respect for his unlikely rescuer.
In 1675, as Spanish oppression crushes the Pueblo peoples of the Southwest, a young war chief named Popé witnesses his tribe's sacred rituals banned and his people arrested for witchcraft—injustices that ignite a fierce determination to unite the scattered pueblos against their conquerors. Traveling from Acoma to Zuni to Taos, Popé uses cunning displays of "medicine" and magic to win over skeptical warriors and paint a vision of liberation, all while orchestrating a coordinated uprising that will test whether even the cleverest strategy can overcome the odds. A thrilling tale of resistance and resourcefulness drawn from the true history of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt.
Strange forces are threatening the Cheyenne and their neighbors—warriors vanish without a trace, and whispers of walking dead spread terror through the camps. The tribal chiefs turn to Redskin and his magic bow to uncover the source of this horror, but when he seeks out his sacred arrows, he's ambushed by the very creatures he's meant to stop. Captured and brought before a crazed medicine man who commands an army of the undead, Redskin must find a way to break the madman's power before he's transformed into one of the living dead himself.
When stagecoaches begin vanishing along the Santa Fe Trail, Flaming Arrow investigates a string of robberies that threaten to falsely implicate his Cheyenne brothers—only to discover that a phantom rider and ghostly coach are terrorizing the route at Death Bend Mountain. As both the Army and the mysterious outlaw gang close in, Flaming Arrow must use his blazing arrows to uncover the truth behind the supernatural hauntings and stop the real culprits before his people pay the price for crimes they didn't commit.
