X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>It&rsquo\;s been over a decade since a mys
 terious cataclysm caused a permanent blackout that toppled infrastructure 
 and thrust the world into anarchy. Evan Whitesky led his community in remo
 te northern Ontario off the rez and into the bush\, where they&rsquo\;ve b
 een living off the land\, rekindling their Anishinaabe traditions in total
  isolation from the outside world.<br /><br />As new generations are born\
 , and others come of age in the world after everything\, Evan&rsquo\;s peo
 ple are in some ways stronger than ever. But resources in and around their
  new settlement are beginning to dry up\, and the elders warn that they ca
 nnot afford to stay indefinitely.<br /><br />Evan and his fifteen-year-old
  daughter\, Nangohns\, are elected to lead a small scouting party on a mon
 ths-long trip to their traditional home on the north shore of Lake Huron&m
 dash\;to seek new beginnings and discover what kind of life&mdash\;and wha
 t dangers&mdash\;still exist in the lands to the south.<br /><br /><a href
