Trois hommes gisent dans la neige au crépuscule. Un seul se relève. A ses côtés, une fée. Elle l’avertira trois fois. Ainsi fait le Beau Peuple…

Eighteen-year-old Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. She dreams of a fresh start at college, but when family tragedy strikes, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother Levi’s hockey team.

Yet even as Daunis falls for Jamie, she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder, thrusting her into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug.

Reluctantly, Daunis agrees to go undercover, drawing on her knowledge of chemistry and Ojibwe traditional medicine to track down the source. But the search for truth is more complicated than Daunis imagined, exposing secrets and old scars. At the same time, she grows concerned with an investigation that seems more focused on punishing the offenders than protecting the victims.

Now, as the deceptions—and deaths—keep growing, Daunis must learn what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she’ll go for her community, even if it tears apart the only world she’s ever known.

À Chamonix, la très jolie, très parisienne Brigitte Collonges n’était venue chercher que le soleil, la flânerie et le plaisir des fêtes mondaines. Or, voici que Zian, un jeune guide dont la montagne est toute la vie, lui révèle les joies du défi et de l’exploit, la splendeur des paysages inviolés. Un exaltant partage qui devient grand amour. Cependant, tandis que Zian -devenu son mari -se consacre tout entier à ses courses, Brigitte découvre la solitude, les angoisses de l’attente. Elle étouffe dans l’humble demeure, au milieu des villageois hostiles. Et cette montagne si belle qu’elle a tant aimée lui apparaît telle une ennemie, telle une rivale.
