Belittled by a selfish father. Loved by a stranger whose kayak washes up on the shore. Trained by Malluar, the elder shaman--but not enough. There are secrets still to learn, and little time. The spirits call her name. The Loon. The Seals. The Wolverine. And their message pulls her into danger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, her husband longs to travel north to his own village to revenge his father's murder and Elik must go with him. But they are soon separated and Elik finds herself alone, first with Skinner, a useless, frightened man then suddenly with another, far different sort of person. Kaviaq is a shaman, strong but kind, powerful but gentle, and filled with promises. He will teach her the ways of the shaman, the magical songs she longs to understand. Words that will help her travel below the sea and up to the house in the moon where the spirits live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePowerful words that will help her save her newly found friends from starvation, grief, and death.
