Publisher's Summary
Named a Most Anticipated Book by Barnes and Noble ∙ BuzzFeed ∙ GoodReads ∙ Book Riot ∙ CrimeReads ∙ Ms. Magazine ∙ SheReads ∙ Amazon Editor's Pick ∙ Tor.com ∙ and more!
A young Native girl's hunt for answers about the women mysteriously disappearing from her tribe's reservation leads her to delve into the myths and stories of her people, all while being haunted herself, in this atmospheric and stunningly poignant debut.
Anna Horn is always looking over her shoulder. For the bullies who torment her, for the entitled visitors at the reservation’s casino…and for the nameless, disembodied entity that stalks her every step—an ancient tribal myth come-to-life, one that’s intent on devouring her whole.
With strange and sinister happenings occurring around the casino, Anna starts to suspect that not all the horrors on the reservation are old. As girls begin to go missing and the tribe scrambles to find answers, Anna struggles with her place on the rez, desperately searching for the key she’s sure lies in the legends of her tribe’s past.
When Anna’s own little sister also disappears, she’ll do anything to bring Grace home. But the demons plaguing the reservation—both ancient and new—are strong, and sometimes, it’s the stories that never get told that are the most important.
Part gripping thriller and part mythological horror, author Nick Medina spins an incisive and timely novel of life as an outcast, the cost of forgetting tradition, and the courage it takes to become who you were always meant to be.
Critic Reviews
"Nick Medina’s debut is at once compassionate, heartbreaking, and gripping.”—Barnes and Noble
"Medina’s debut is a stunning, tense read. I can’t wait to read more from him.”—BuzzFeed
"With the excellent Sisters of the Lost Nation, Nick Medina expertly balances Native mythology, a grounded coming of age story, and a modern, all too real and terrible mystery of Native girls going missing. Gripping, heartbreaking, and vital, this is a novel you won't soon forget, and Anna Horn will no doubt become one of your most cherished fictional characters."—Paul Tremblay, national bestselling author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers Club

Sending love to everyone who’s missing someone <3
I respect that the author is finally bringing to light (the elephant in the room that is) society’s treatment of missing indigenous women (and other minorities.) They are so often forgotten or disregarded by the media, and don’t get the attention they require and deserve.
Regardless of if it’s USA or Australia (and no doubt other countries as well), missing indigenous women (and other minorities) don’t get the same publicity and attention as other missing persons. Each are equally loved by a family. Each are yearned for by a friend.
The way the author wound the threads of fact and fiction through the guise of horror was amazing. I highly recommend this book but it’s too hard for me to properly define. There’s mythology, tradition, terror, truth and lies.
Unfortunately, I cannot offer a solution to the all too real truth of the missing. I can only share the message that every time there is any missing person, they are someone’s child, someone’s parent, someone’s friend, someone who deserves to be found.
