In this gripping, horror-laced debut, a young Cree woman’s dreams lead her on a perilous journey of self-discovery that ultimately forces her to confront the toll of a legacy of violence on her family, her community and the land they call home."A mystery and a horror story about grief, but one with defiant hope in its beating heart." —Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers ClubWhen Mackenzie wakes up with a severed crow's head in her hands, she panics. Only moments earlier she had been fending off masses of birds in a snow-covered forest. In bed, when she blinks, the head disappears.   Night after night, Mackenzie’s dreams return her to a memory from before her sister Sabrina’s untimely death: a weekend at the family’s lakefront campsite, long obscured by a fog of guilt. But when the waking world starts closing in, too—a murder of crows stalks her every move around the city, she wakes up from a dream of drowning throwing up water, and gets threatening text messages from someone claiming to be Sabrina—Mackenzie knows this is more than she can handle alone.Traveling north to her rural hometown in Alberta, she finds her family still steeped in the same grief that she ran away to Vancouver to escape. They welcome her back, but their shaky reunion only seems to intensify her dreams—and make them more dangerous.What really happened that night at the lake, and what did it have to do with Sabrina’s death? Only a bad Cree would put their family at risk, but what if whatever has been calling Mackenzie home was already inside?

This work is fiction based on a blend of the factual history of mythology mixed with what is not written but known physical evidence. Much of the material is from what we call the cradle of civilization, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. There is obvious evidence of an advanced civilization with the carvings and the sculptures in stone, as well as the mythology in the stars, which are still in the sky today. Either the stars in the heavens arranged to match the stories on earth or the stories on earth were inspired by the stars in the heavens.

The book is to give HOPE to anyone and to show that change is not always bad but change can also be good even when we think it is bad.CAROLYN COLE- I am a Mother of 5 children and 14 grandchildren.
