About this title

Synopsis

It is the 1790s, and the old ways of Alayeksa are perishing, crushed by a collision of cultures. Russian fur traders are claiming the rich Alaskan wilderness for imperial Russia, and forcing the proud Native Americans into slavery.

Beautiful Ashana, torn from her young husband to be the mistress and servant of the captain of the invaders, turns for help to the ancient spirits who have always guided her people. In the magical spirit world of the raven, in the memory of the husband she believes to be dead, in the force of her unremitting rage. Ashana finds the wisdom and power to challenge her cruel destiny.
