This series has my heart. It’s heartwarming, emotional, action packed, and Tłįcho Dene cultural teachings portrayed in a beautiful, soft way.
This first book in the series focuses on Sonny and Shinobu, where Shinobu comes to the Northwest Territories to reclaim his grandfather’s samurai sword and armour. What follows is a wonderful coming together of people in a peaceful way that fosters connection and respect, rather than anger and discord.
Thank you so much HighWater Press for this gifted copy!
