Synopsis

This novel unfolds in the homeland of the Haisla people during the 1940s, where a disturbing mystery begins to unfold. Without explanation, children of the Haisla community start to vanish, plunging the people into fear and confusion. In response to their plight, the R.C.M.P. in Victoria, B.C. dispatches an officer to Haisla territory for investigation. Accompanying him are a tracking dog and a formidable fighting dog. However, this mission takes a tragic turn when they are later found deceased in the forests surrounding Haisla land.

The narrative then follows my grandfather, known in English as James Clarkson and in our native tongue as Uhbadee, and my son, William. Together, they unravel the chilling truth: a witch has been abducting the Haisla children. Through courage and determination, my son and grandfather locate where the children are being held. Leading a group of brave men, they embark on a daring rescue mission to save the children and confront the malevolent force threatening their community.
