Gallery Talk & Book Signing: Nancy Rivest Green ? On the Brink of Shards

Civilizations in chaos, over-consumptive lifestyle, drought, overuse of the Earth's resources, changing weather patterns and over-population. Ripped from today's headlines? No, these were the conditions in the American Southwest more than a thousand years ago. Set in the wild and majestic canyon lands of the Colorado Plateau as the ancient Hisatsinom and Toltec cultures teetered on the edge of collapse, Rivest’s debut novel follows Kaiya, seer and healer, as she journeys through loss, magic, knowledge, power and joy to save her people from disaster.
