Shaman: Devil’s Deal

Clay Hustubise proves to be a master of story telling. In this tale of fantasy and adventure the boy’s voice jumps right off the page and into your heart. In this work of fiction, the grandfather, a Shaman who is three quarters American Indian passes his powers to the father and through the father to the grandson. Seen through the eyes of the boy, the story centers around good and evil.  It was a peaceful existence for the boy and his family in the sheltered valley of the Indian Reservation except for the dark house in the woods.

  The Reservation is seized  by the government for a Federal Project and the Indian families are forced to move from their sacred land.  Grandfather creates a magical carving from the bones of his Shaman father, which has it’s part to play in the story.  And the boy’s family moves into a large attic in the city. Across the street from them is a huge building they call the castle. Unusual noises can sometime be heard emanating from there. The story takes a sharp turn when the boy and his brother Kye are in high school and the evil Shaman begins his quest in earnest for grandfathers magical carving.

  They find childhood friends, Nom and Horice,  and the drama grows when the family dog, Silk, is impaled on a lightning rod of the attic and the brothers use supernatural powers to rescue him and with the help of Nom, heal his bloody wounds.  Hustubise writes from the prospective of the boy and action plays out with the brothers and their friends. The boy finds that with the teaching of his father and his grandfather’s  magical carving he has learned his Shaman powers well.

    One day the boys are returning from school when they see their home on fire, father is cut in half with a machete when he rushes past the dark house. Mother, Kye and Silk are badly wounded but the boy with his Shaman powers, heals the others, but it’s too late for father.

    There is much more action and adventure as the boy, Kye and their friends, conquer the evil Shaman and bring back the Reservation to it’s former glory. The characters are compelling and blur between fantasy and fiction. The scenes play out on the Reservation, home, and the evil castle. A tale of both mystery and fantasy, A story of good people and an electrifying stand off with evil. A book you don’t want to miss.
