Samuel Redstone enjoyed a quiet life as the chief of police of a small town in Southeastern Oklahoma. His peace would soon be shattered by the bizarre death of a group of outlaw motorcycle club members just outside his beloved town of Talihina. The violent deaths could not be easily explained. When other members of the club come to town to exact revenge and make charges of police brutality, Sam is distracted by this, causing him to momentarily miss other bizarre activities in around Talihina. To make matters worse, Sam's old flame returns to town with her husband, complicating Sam's life even further.
As time passes, it becomes evident that something other than outlaw motorcycle gangs has descended on Talihina. Strange animal behavior and a rash of dead and disappearing dogs are the first warnings to the residence of the small town that a new danger is lurking in the beautiful Kiamichi Mountains surrounding the community. Bizarre helicopter and military activity also become common place in the area-not to mention a US Forest Service Special Agent named Paul Eastman is adding to the stress and confusion plaguing Sam.
Sam's father, Addison, a full-blood Choctaw, is the first to recognize the real danger to the community. Sam is reluctant to listen to the old stories and legends of his ancestors. As a veteran of two tours in Iraq, Sam is confident he can handle what he assumes is a criminal element threatening Talihina. Unknown to Sam, something else-something ancient and lethal-is threatening Talihina. The government agency that is supposed to be neutralizing the threat is only making things worse.
The creatures are referred to by many names throughout the world and among the First Nations Tribes. As the truth becomes evident, Sam must rely on his father's leadership and warrior skills to confront and defeat what he comes to know as . . . Relics
