Synopsis:

After 400 years, Hania, a Golem, is the last of her kind. She is alone and hiding from her painful past.  She meets Caleb, a runaway from New York City, and is forced to look at the world from an entirely different perspective. Through Caleb, she learns that the lack of love and compassion in her world is stemming from a rogue shaman. Angry at his treatment and loss during the trail of tears, he has vowed vengeance on the country and leaders involved.  To get his revenge, he has been creating Golems without souls, buying out the government, and bending the highest powered individuals to his will.

The realization that she is not the last of her kind ignites pride in her own heritage, causing her to re-examine her painful Native American history. As a result, she finds her personal totem and gifts that will help her identify the shaman at the heart of the corruption. Hania, along with her new friends, Caleb and Dakota, a free-loving musician, finds great danger and is forced to search out Abiaka, a Medicine Man to save her life.

Seeking the answer to bringing back love and compassion, the trio takes a lesson from one of history’s greatest mysteries, the Amazonian Army, and creates an army of Golem women. Finding her own inner heart song, she is able to lead her army to a victory. By giving the soul-less Golems souls and freedom from oppression, Hania begins the process that will bring love and compassion back to the world.
