People of the canyons / Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear.
In a magnificent war-torn world cut by soaring red canyons, an evil ruler launches a search for a mystical artifact that he hopes will bring him ultimate power - an ancient witch's pot that reputedly contains the trapped soul of the most powerful witch ever to have lived. The aged healer Tocho must stop him, but to do it he must ally himself with the bitter and broken witch hunter, Maicoh, whose only goal is achieving one last great kill.

Thousands of years ago, in what is now the American Southwest, life after death was very real to the people of the canyons. Both life and death were seen as frightening and demanding, commanded by powerful forces that had to be assuaged. Thirteen-year-old Tsilu knows how to treat the dead, but knows nothing about her family. Her adoptive grandfather, Tocho, is a healer and a miracle worker, but, as an old man, he needs help looking after the girl. When a powerful ruler's fear of one more powerful than himselfâthe soul of a witch imprisoned in her own potâstirs those who remember a better time, people of many nations begin a fateful quest. Shaken by the changes that follow, Tsilu is forced to make a decision that will not only determine her future, but that of everyone in the canyon. The Gears (Star Path, 2019) surround their characters with magnificent vistas and dress them in fantastic costumes that reveal their natures, creating a setting that is wild, beautiful, and ever-changing. This will be a treat for fans of historical fiction and historical fantasy. Copyright 2020 Booklist Reviews.
