“Suspenseful, intriguing and powerfully tense, this is a dark fantasy work like no other... The Temptation of Destiny is a master class in tension and supposition.” ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews (1)

Jake has the perfect life-a successful marriage, three great children, and a plan set in place for his future. Yet with one tragic twist of fate, all he has achieved is threatened.

Dakota, a recent graduate from law school, is eager to start her life in Wind River, a magical place where legends of strong warriors and beautiful maidens, in a majestic land steeped in lore, have always captured her imagination. Yet one horrible night threatens her piece of heaven on earth.

The Spirits dance across the night sky as the most vile, violent, and darkest of humanity's secrets invade Wind River. Prophetic visions warn of a great battle, and the dead tell tales, as the past and future collide and the struggle between the Spirit and Mortal worlds tear at the fibers of humanity.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a compelling 21st-century story of light and darkness, love and despair, life and death, all set against the backdrop of Wyoming American Indian country, culture, history, and spirituality.
