Overview

An epic quest fantasy debut that is the Tlingit indigenous response to The Lord of the Rings When Elān trapped a salmon-stealing raven in his cupboard, he never expected it would hold the key to saving his people from the shapeshifting Koosh invaders plaguing their shores. In exchange for its freedom, the raven offers a secret that can save Elān’s home: the Koosh have lost one of their most powerful weapons, and only the raven knows where it is. Elān is tasked with captaining a canoe crewed by an unlikely team including a human bear-cousin, a massive wolf, and the endlessly vulgar raven. To retrieve the weapon, they will face stormy seas, cannibal giants and a changing world. But Elān is a storyteller, not a warrior. As their world continues to fall to the Koosh, and alliances are challenged and broken, Elān must choose his role in his own epic story.

“Goodness, it’s so exciting when epic fantasy tropes are done well, when they feel fresh and unexpected. I am always so thankful for writers who can breathe new life into the genre elements we love the most, and Russell has done exactly that here.” —Reactor
