Though there are growing numbers of white people encroaching on their land, life continues much as it always has. But the satisfying rhythms of their life are shattered when a visitor comes to their lodge one winter night, bringing with him an invisible enemy that will change things forever--but that will eventually lead Omakakiins to discover her calling." --  Omakakiins and her family live on an island in Lake Superior, where their way of life remains largely unchanged despite the increasing presence of non-indigenous settlers encroaching on their land. However, their peaceful existence is disrupted when a visitor arrives at their lodge one winter night, bringing with him an unseen threat that will alter their lives in profound ways. This event ultimately leads Omakakiins on a journey of self-discovery, helping her find her true purpose.
