“Merciless Indian Savage” is a collection of eleven Indigenous stories. Exploring what might have happened if one vital change was made in "Ghost Dance", and how one tree might influence the creation of the world in "Wish of a Tree". Experience the horror of the MMIW epidemic in "Red Dress" and of the hidden horrors of residential schools in "Shh". Legends come alive in "Trespassers" and new legends are told in "Of Crows". "Wild Heart" questions one organs' capability for memory and "Savages" questions what it means to have mercy. Read a haunting tale of revenge in "First Falling Thunder" and join a young girl with the power to call upon spirits in "Iyóko". In the end leave with an uplifting tale of the origins and caring of dreams in "Dreams Caretaker".

Esme is abandoned at five years old with no memory of her past. Adopted by the detective and nurse who rescue her, she finally finds a family—until tragedy strikes. After her adoptive father is murdered and her mother rejects her, Esme is sent into foster care, where years of abuse awaken something terrifying inside her.
When her foster brother’s life is threatened, Esme unleashes deadly powers she can not control.
Taken in by others with extraordinary abilities, Esme tries to master her gift, but disaster follows her wherever she goes. As she struggles to use her powers to heal instead of destroy, she’s forced to confront a painful truth: being a hero may cost her the family, love, and normal life she’s always wanted.
And the closer she gets to the light, the more the darkness calls her name.
