As a biracial, unenrolled tribal member and the product of a scandal, Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in—both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. When her family is struck by tragedy, Daunis puts her dreams on hold to care for her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother’s hockey team.
After Daunis witnesses a shocking murder that thrusts her into a criminal investigation, she agrees to go undercover. But the deceptions—and deaths—keep piling up and soon the threat strikes too close to home. How far will she go to protect her community if it means tearing apart the only world she’s ever known?

“I am a frozen statue of a girl on my knees in the woods. Only my eyes move, darting from the gun to their startled expression.”
“Groundbreaking . . . what do you get when you combine Tommy Orange, Tomi Adeyemi, and Angie Thomas?”
This GORGEOUS cover was designed by Rich Deas, Senior Art Director at Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group. He reached out to artist Moses Lunham (Ojibway) from Kettle & Stony Point First Nation. I can think of no higher compliment than to say this cover feels purely Nish (Anishinaabek)!
