Synopsis
A hidden, sacred canyon. Eight women. Twelve centuries. And a mystical song that connects it all.
Deep in the wilderness lies a hidden canyon, one that calls out to travelers with its haunting siren song. Sacred wisdom, terrible secrets, and a veil of mystery shroud it - but the power of nature cannot be ignored. Seen through the eyes of eight women across time, Sedona's Oak Creek Canyon calls through the ages, echoing across twelve centuries to capture the minds of visitors from ancient hunter-gatherers to Spanish conquistadors to modern-day seekers of truth. Though these women bear witness to nature's magic, their sacred guardianship is matched only by the ill-fated curiosity of the men who seek to unravel the canyon's secrets. As time crashes on, one wave after another, cultures are linked and stories remain unbroken as this lost, ageless canyon brings myths to life and fuels the folklore of generations. From award-winning, best-selling author, Robert DeMayo, The Sirens of Oak Creek is a gripping novel that artfully intertwines local myth with historical fact, carrying timeless themes that reflect the power of nature, magic, and immaterial realms.
