Bitterroot Saga
Nobody arrives in Bitterroot without a past, and nothing that happens there disappears without leaving a mark.
The Bitterroot Saga is a web of books set in one world. Each book stands on its own, but its people, places and wounds run through the others. Every chapter comes with a story tape: the chapter read aloud by a narrator.
