“Gitche Manitou” weaves the intertwined destinies of supernatural beings in a world where ancient spirits and creatures fight for survival. Magdalena, a young Vaewolf, grows up in a foster home in Imperial Valley, California—at the heart of the Shadowlands. Unbeknownst to her, her real parents, Aiyana, a powerful werewolf and gifted medicine woman, and Sebastian, a brilliant vampire scientist, watch over her from a distance. Together, they combine their unique skills to keep Mags alive and hidden from dangerous forces.
Once fated to the dreaded Wendigo centuries before, Aiyana narrowly escaped its grasp, seeking refuge in the Shadowlands under the protection of the Owl, the guardian shaman of this mysterious realm. As Magdalena comes of age, she discovers her fated bond with a rogue prince, the exiled alpha of the Thunderwolf pack. Andrei, banished by a powerful witch doctor, fights armed with new powers and allies to destroy the Wendigo and reclaim his pack. Will their plan fail or succeed or will they succumb to fear and doubt?
This story is about love, about starting over and transformation of the highest kind. It’s about having a warrior spirit and fighting for what you believe in. Here we confront our monsters, whether it is us, ourselves, or out there in the darkness. Never forget who you really are.
