A canoe quest to protect a threatened home

Elān’s journey begins with a captured raven and a secret about a lost Koosh weapon, then becomes a sea voyage with an unusual crew: a human bear-cousin, a massive wolf, and the raven itself. Their search unfolds amid shapeshifting invaders, stormy waters, cannibal giants, and shifting alliances. The contrast between Elān’s identity as a storyteller and the demands of leading a quest gives the conflict a personal dimension, while the threatened shores and Tlingit framing place this epic fantasy in a distinctive cultural context.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers seeking epic fantasy quests and journeys by sea.
  • For readers interested in fantasy that draws on Tlingit Indigenous context.
  • For readers who enjoy unlikely traveling companions and conflicts over leadership.

Book 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.
