Book Cover & Preview Text
"Have you read this story about the body found near Sedona? They're speculating that a new religious cult has moved to Arizona." "Maybe it was a two-heart." "You mean a witch? Do you know any witches, Pappy?" The old cowhand was sorry he had spoken so quickly. He began to fidget with his neckerchief and stared at the flowering vine border that decorated the stucco walls just beneath the ceiling. "The two-hearts are everywhere," Pappy finally replied haltingly, eyes now darting left and right, as though one might be in the room at this very moment. "No one knows who might be a witch these days. I've heard that they gather sometimes at Koyongtupqa, but I don't know this for sure." "But do you know any witches, personally?"

About the Book
This is a story about primeval knowledge and forgotten powers. It is also a story of greed and murder that takes place in the American Southwest. Betatakin, Keet Seel ad Old Oraibi are real places. They are beautiful, majestic and haunting. Vivid descriptions display the color and depth of creation. Species and dreams fade away, but some secrets endure. These things are known to Shaman and Rachel Thomas, keepers of history. A satisfying portion of this knowledge is shared with the readers of Down to the Summit. The reader is exposed to interesting Native American sites and background while trying to untangle a web of intrigue and suspense. The underlying theme is one of perpetuity, continuity and responsibility.
