      The Unravelling and Stolen. The latter also gives me a book set on the path of totality, one of the rejected prompts that I really liked.
    
      Possibilities:Independent People
The Mountain in the Sea
The Loneliest Girl in the Universe
The City and Its Uncertain Walls
Euphoria

Like Stolen, it’s about the Sami people who herd reindeer. They both fit isolated location, Indigenous character, Santa’s reindeer, and the path of the total eclipse. Drum time is historical fiction, while Stold is more contemporary.
      I'm going back to Rockton for one last time, hidden away in the Yukon, with Kelley Armstrong's The Deepest of Secrets. Not a place I'd like to visit, it's a bit too dangerous!

I was there in 2008, and I can't imagine a place that would fit this prompt better.
