Shadowrun Novels
Wolf & Buffalo
Waking Spirits....
The Sixth World doesn’t give people much time to grow up. Whoever you are, wherever you live, there’s going to come a time when the world is going to throw you some serious curveballs. And, if all you can do is bitch and moan about how you’re not ready for what’s coming your way, you’re not going to last long. Get strong, grow up, and figure out how to survive - that’s what everyone else has done. Except for those lying two meters underground.
One of those tests is about to hit Lena, a young woman living in the Sioux Nation. She’s going to learn a lot about how life in the Sixth World works, and just how far people will go to get what they want. But, before she can process any of that, she is going to have to survive criminals, smugglers, and worse. She doesn’t have much to help her, except for some new powers she does not understand. Using them, and drawing on some unexpected allies, is the only way she will live out the day.
Wolf and Buffalo is original short fiction for Shadowrun, Fifth Edition, and part of the Shadows in Focus: Sioux Nation collection of books - though you don’t need to read anything else to enjoy the story!

Nice little story, it works as decent introduction to the state of the amerindians in the sixth world, as well shamans and totem spirits. It ends a bit suddenly with a deus ex machina, that would have happend either way wether Lena was there or not and i think thats kinda boring

An okay story to go along with the Sioux Nation series of supplements.
