THE STORY IN BRIEF

Tale of Twins is an epic American novel in three volumes—and counting—rooted in Lakota tradition, Indigenous sovereignty, and one of the most extraordinary premises in contemporary fiction: the discovery, by a Native family who belongs to the land above it, of the largest natural resource find in the recorded history of human civilization. Written under the pseudonym Joe Kidd, the series moves from the intimate emotional territory of siblings making life-defining choices to the vast geological and spiritual territory of an underground world that has been waiting, in its specific patient way, for the right people to find it.

It is a story about what it means to belong to land rather than own it. About what happens when the people who have always been displaced from the center of their own story finally stand at the center of it. About the relationship between what the earth holds and what the people above it are capable of receiving. And about the oldest question of all—one that the second book raises at its close and that will take the full length of the series to answer.
