When Cherokee returns to the town her ancestors once called home, she finds it unrecognizable-a hollow shell overtaken by greed, its lands exploited and its traditions left in ruins. But the earth remembers, and so do the spirits. Wendigos stalk the forests, skinwalkers creep in the shadows, and the chindi-vengeful remnants of the past-seek to reclaim what was stolen. As Cherokee unravels the haunting truths buried in the town's history, she must navigate a world where survival means confronting both the supernatural and the corruption that awoke it. The line between justice and vengeance blurs, and Cherokee discovers that the legacy of her people is far darker-and more powerful-than she ever imagined.
