About the book:
It’s been over a decade since Evan Whitesky led his community into the bush to live off the land and rekindle their Anishinaabe traditions after a mysterious cataclysm caused a permanent blackout that toppled infrastructure and thrust the world into anarchy. But as resources in and around their new settlement are beginning to dry up Evan and his teenage daughter are elected to lead a small scouting party on a months-long trip to their traditional home on the north shore of Lake Huron—to seek new beginnings and discover what kind of life—and what dangers—still exist in the lands to the south.
