When Elān trapped a salmon-stealing raven in his cupboard, he never expected it would hold the key to saving his people from the shapeshifting Koosh invaders plaguing their shores. In exchange for its freedom, the raven offers a secret that can save Elān’s home: the Koosh have lost one of their most powerful weapons, and only the raven knows where it is. Elān is tasked with captaining a canoe crewed by an unlikely team including a human bear-cousin, a massive wolf, and the endlessly vulgar raven. To retrieve the weapon, they will face stormy seas, cannibal giants and a changing world. But Elān is a storyteller, not a warrior. As their world continues to fall to the Koosh, and alliances are challenged and broken, Elān must choose his role in his own epic story.

Elān’s life changed forever when the loud-mouthed raven chose him to go on a journey to save his people. Now returned from his quest, Elān is changed, withdrawn—and will not touch the weapon he is destined to wield. Raven knows that Elān must take up the weapon for his people, or cast it back into the Koosh world through the Door. But Elān will not budge. The invading Koosh loom ever closer, and Elān’s people have no hero to fight for them. So raven turns to Kwa, Elān’s sour yet tough companion. Kwa is determined to prove herself, doing whatever it takes to become the warrior leader her people need her to be. With Chetdyl the wolf by her side, she prepares an attack against the Koosh. But she knows that what she really needs is the weapon Elān refuses to use. If he won’t use it, she will. But the weapon will not bow to her – unless she does as raven says and pushes Elān through the Door herself.
