by Karen Lee White (Author)
Krie Redsky is an extraordinary Indigenous child who has both a curse and blessing that allows him to walk between this world and the Spirit Realm. He is also at an age where he is learning to cope with the twists and turns of friendships, the awkwardness of first love, and the self-doubt that must be overcome following loss and betrayal. But, nurtured by Knowledge Keepers as "one who is without fear, and with the ability to cross realities," he is soon recognized as an individual who can - and will - battle the terrifying ancient spirit stealers known as Bonewalkers. But is he strong enough for what is to come?
