Russ doesn’t want more. He has the perfect life planned. Even though he’s called a dummy most days, he knows he’ll go to college, marry Isabelle, and farm with his father and brothers. Yup, perfect.
All that changes in June 1928, the night his brother is kicked out of the house and Isabelle is snatched by a bunch of men dressed like ghosts.
Russ swore to protect Sacred Land but promises made to his pa when life was great are not so easy to keep after he finds himself plagued by a curse. Who are the men terrorising the Cursed Lands and trying to burn his gal for being a witch? His father thinks they’re acting out to scare them off the land, a hate group perhaps? His brother wonders if they’re wanting a sacred plant that grows in the tunnels. His ma knows of other secrets haunting them… While those things might be true, his ghostly grandpa shows Russ something he can’t ignore; a curse summoned years ago that will suck them all into the earth.
With lingering spirits, a troubled girl shadowing his destiny, dark rituals, a love potion, cursed men plaguing their lands, a prison break that takes him away from home when his wife needs him the most, and the earth itself trying to suck them in, Cursed on the Prairiesis a Sacred Land Story that shows that the prairies are a place full of secrets that even a ghost can’t bury.
An emotional journey into an alternate history with paranormal and romantic elements that proves we can’t escape our destinies, Cursed on the Prairies is the third of Tanya’s Sacred Land Stories, the culmination of a trans-generational timeline that started in Legends on the Prairies and continued in Ghosts on the Prairies.

What you believe is all that matters.
Travelling halfway across the country to settle land on an unexplored part of the prairies, Alex hopes to find himself, to find a reason for his pitiful existence, perhaps have one last adventure with his dying friend. What he finds in the heart of the lonesome prairies is Sacri, defending land with her very soul. She believes he is the Man of Legends sent to save Sacred Land.
Sacri’s determination entrances him, but Alex won’t pretend to be something he’s not. Every breath of freedom he takes on these prairies is shadowed by the life he ran from and the demands of a settling province. Life on the prairies of 1892 teaches him harsh truths. Even the legends leave him scarred and having to pick himself up. Who knew the prairies were home to mud monsters, rituals, magic, or even haunting spirits?
In a world where legends and truths intermix, will Alex find a way to fit into this secretive world or will his beliefs forever change it?
REVIEWS
"Tanya Reimer's Legends on the Prairies invites readers into a world where myth and legend meet everyday life and the harsh and painful reality of existence in a powerful way. It will entertain and thrill readers who are tired of reading run-of-the-mill speculative fiction stories. It's a rewarding reading experience to those who are willing to let themselves be immersed in a bit different kind of a story. Risingshadow by Seregil of Rhiminee
Bootleggers, slavery, fools in sheets, spirits, shifty tunnel runners, even exploding churches.
Some things are worth a fight. Strong words that Antoine’s father drilled into him. After his father mysteriously vanishes one night, Antoine must find another income or he risks losing the Sacred Land that his father swore to protect. Working on a ranch, Antoine meets Emma, a victim of underground slavery.
Fighting for her freedom costs him his home, his sister, his best friend, and puts in question all of his values. If he succeeds, will she and her son fit into his world?
