Darcie Little Badger’s standalone novels blend Indigenous mythology with speculative fiction. Elatsoe (2020) introduced readers to a young Lipan Apache woman with the power to raise animal ghosts, set in an alternate America where magic is real. The book earned widespread praise and won the Locus Award for Best First Novel.
A Snake Falls to Earth (2021) takes a different approach, splitting its narrative between a Lipan Apache girl in Texas and a cottonmouth person in the land of animal spirits. Sheine Lende (2024) and the upcoming Children of Owl (2026) continue Little Badger’s commitment to centering Indigenous characters and worldviews in fantasy and science fiction.
