In the Long Shadows

October 13

Illustrated cover for In the Long Shadows by Bear Meawasige. A teenager stands with her back to the viewer on a cliff's edge. She has long black hair and is wearing a cloak/cape made out of what looks like furs, brown pants, and shoes with fur up to her knees. She has a bow and a quiver of arrows on her back. She is facing a stone bridge between two mountains, which looks like it's balanced on the back of two stone figures. There is a strong wind that blows her hair, the cape, and several red leaves.In the Long Shadows by Bear Meawasige

Leaf grew up wandering the forests of the Turtle, exploring the stonefolk’s cursed ruins, and listening to her grandmother’s stories. As a child, Koomis was imprisoned with other children of the clans in the stone buildings that still scar the forest floor. When Leaf finds a mysterious object left behind by the vanished invaders, she risks banishment by bringing it back to the Elderglade. It is only Ash, a Watcher sworn to protect the clans’ people, who will help her. Together, the two girls set out on a dangerous journey searching for answers.

Far away, across the Broken Waters, an orphan named Reed dreams of escape from the Flotilla-a makeshift land of floating ships. When his chance comes to lie his way onto a departing ship, Reed doesn’t hesitate, tying his fate to the mysterious crew-including Finch, a girl who seems to see right through his deceit. Together, they set out on a course that will lead them to the Great Turtle.
