They are the keepers of an ancient vessel that can send anyone through time . . . Finding out he is the last elder of the Sky People is a great responsibility, but one that Elk Runner takes on with pride. There hasn’t been enough time to learn all he needs to know, however. Mastery of the vessel that controls time travel, for starters. His best intentions often end up creating more trouble than he can handle. When he loses actual people somewhere in time, he must figure out how to bring them back before their presence in the past alters things the future . . . Nothing is more important to Austin Hornsby than being the best. Nothing. His research and surprise discovery will certainly earn him worldwide accolades and success beyond his wildest dreams. Maybe he’ll even make his father proud. The ends definitely justify the means, even if it involves the potential destruction of the national park. Shelby Osborne has grown up in a national park, surrounded by things that most people would not believe existed unless they saw for themselves. Her parents taught her to be thankful that this land was protected long ago from those who would have exploited it. At a crossroads in her life about what to do in her own future, she must decide if she wants to follow in her father’s footsteps, or go a different direction. Being forced to work together as lab partners is one thing, but when Austin and Shelby find themselves together in a survival situation, they must put aside their differences and work as a team. With no one else around, will they let down their guard enough to open their hearts and see each other from a completely new perspective before it’s too late? Legends of the Sky People is spin-off to the Yellowstone Romance Series.
