About the Book:
Adi and Honi journey to Southern Oklahoma to meet Honi’s Mekui’te tribe at the reservation where he grew up. Honi’s infectious excitement almost erases Adi’s apprehension at meeting his family, and she’s desperate to make a good impression.
When Adi is met with silent hostility that gets worse rather than better, she realizes there may be more to the initial resistance Honi had warned her to expect.
Honi is confused and hurt by his family’s reaction, and by Adi’s increasingly strange behavior. She’s claiming the spirit animals of his tribe are diseased and sickly, but they look just fine to him. On top of that, when Adi meets Honi’s ex, Nina, her jealousy gets way out of hand, and threatens to drive them apart.
While mysterious forces manipulate and distort their realities, can Honi and Adi join forces to figure out what is happening before it’s too late and they are separated forever?
Read an Exclusive Excerpt:
The spirit wolf barked.
Honi got such a fright, he jumped. If it had spooked him, Con must have been
terrified.
He asked quickly, “Con?
Are you okay?”
There was no answer. He
tried a few more times, but the boy was gone. Con had apparently woken up and
was back where he belonged. That still didn’t explain why Honi was
spirit-walking and why he was still surrounded by a shroud of darkness. He was
keenly aware of the pressure of the silence around him.
He fought against the
anxiety that had settled in his stomach. He lowered his head—his overactive
imagination conjuring up images of wild animals creeping up on him, ready to
pounce and tear him to pieces. He was a grown man, for God’s sake. Despite his
best efforts, his breath whooshed in and out, faster and faster. He was
spiraling out of control, panting so quickly that his head spun.
He had no visual points
around him to feel grounded. He felt as if he were floating in space, a
sensation so bizarre that he gasped. A low growl startled him, and then the
giant wolf jumped up and placed his paws onto Honi’s shoulders. The movement
took him by surprise. He braced himself, his attention forced on not toppling over
from the heavy weight of the spirit animal.
The big, furry body
grounded him. His panic dissipated as quickly as it had risen, replaced by
irritation as Ho’neo’s wet, cold tongue swiped from his chin to his temple.
“Ewww, do you have to do
that?”
The weight on his
shoulders grew heavier and heavier, and Honi found himself sinking to his
knees. Then the wolf pushed him to the ground, covering Honi’s body with his
huge one. Honi tried to protest, but no sound came out of his mouth. His
capitulation came as a surprise to him, and he closed his eyes. When he opened
them again, it was morning.
Bright light bathed
Honi’s face through the motel room window, and he squeezed his eyes shut
against the glare. He turned to his side, and there was Adi. She was fast asleep,
rolled up like a human armadillo, her red-brown hair tied neatly into a long
plait. Honi scooted out from underneath the cover, careful not to wake her. He
dug for his cell phone in his discarded jeans and dialed John’s number.
