Description

A daring debut epic that blends quest-fantasy momentum with a distinctly Tlingit-inspired worldview, this story follows Elān, a reluctant storyteller pulled into a struggle for his people’s survival. When a salmon-stealing raven trapped in his cupboard reveals a secret tied to the shapeshifting Koosh invaders, Elān must captain a perilous canoe journey with an unlikely crew—an unexpected bear-cousin, a massive wolf, and the raven itself—toward a lost weapon that could turn the tide. Across storm-tossed seas and a world that keeps changing, they face cannibal giants, shifting alliances, and the cost of becoming the hero others need. At its heart, the novel explores identity, responsibility, and the power of stories to carry communities through fear, loss, and transformation.
