ABOUT THE BOOK

In a world cracking under the weight of prophecy and colonization, one young woman walks the line between spirit and survival—called home by wolves, visions, and the bones of her ancestors. Of Spirit and Bone: Legacy of the Wolves is the powerful opening to a trilogy rooted in Indigenous cosmology, sacred relationship, and the fight for belonging. Nea is pulled back to her land by dreams that blur the veil between past lives and present battles. When her path collides with He Sá—a grief-worn twin flame—they must face truths buried in generational silence.

This is not just a novel. It’s a remembering. A reclamation. A medicine story. For those called to remember.
