Spirit of the Lake

by Paty Jager

Overview

Can a spirit set upon this earth to see to the good of the Nimiipuu stay true to justice when revenge burns in his heart? Wewukiye, the lake spirit, saves a Nimiipuu maiden from drowning and bringing shame to herself and her family. Learning her people ignored her accusations against a White man who took her body, leaving her pregnant, Wewukiye vows to help her through the birth and to prove the White man's deceit. Dove slowly heals her heart and her distrust as Wewukiye, the warrior with hair the color of the sun, believes in her and helps her restore her faith in her people and herself. On their quest for justice, Dove reveals spiritual abilities, ensnaring Wewukiye's respect and awe. But will these abilities seal their future or tear them apart?
