The Nahanni Valley is one of the select places in the world where nature's unbridled beauty unleashes a supernatural primal breath of spirit. Its unfathomable magnificence acts as a catalyst to birth both general and special revelation. Drawn into this otherworldly realm of canyons and cryptids, a band of intrepid survivors of an apocalyptic plague must find a way to rebirth the world. But first they must face their own demons and then conquer ancient evil entities that have been released by the remnants of technology of the former world. Only by learning to walk by faith in the present tense, and by becoming committed vessels for the Creator, can they hope to be victorious. Being called together by an unseen power, they learn to embrace their diversity by love and determination. During their adventure, they come to realize they "do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers; against spiritual wickedness in high places, and the rulers of the darkness of this age." The horrors they must overcome have never been witnessed by humankind, and these terrors seem to be unconquerable. Their only weapon is their conviction that faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Armed with this awareness, they must save not only the universe but the multiverse. Bravely facing relic populations of prehistoric monsters, the brave troop trudges the road of destiny, called onward by ominous and beastly howls that echo down the Nahanni Valley.

The setting is the legendary South Nahanni River in Canada's Northwest Territories-as remote and wild a river as any man could hope for. The Nahanni flows through a land of unsurpassed beauty and legend-harrowing legend. To access it, you must travel due North across the North American continent until the road is no more, then jump a bush plane for a flight across the infamous Mackenzie Mountains, deep into the wild, to the headwaters of the Nahanni. Once in, there is but one way out-down 300 miles of rampaging river, across mighty Virginia Falls, through Deadmen's Valley, then a succession of three formidable, bottomless canyons, filled wall to wall with treacherous rapids-enough whitewater and danger to satisfy even the most beastly of men. On that river, in the summer of "74"-a man, a boy and an open 16 foot, wood and canvass canoe with 250 miles of bad water between them and homeward bound. Fate would not be kind and near the end of the journey they would find themselves hopelessly trapped in the Lower Canyon without gear or canoe. Only the most unlikely of events could save them-but could they survive long enough for it to happen?

Part Ojibwe and part white, River lives with her white mother and stepfather on a farm in Ontario. Teased about her Indigenous heritage as a young girl, she feels like she doesn't belong and struggles with her identity. Now eighteen and just finished high school, River travels to Winnipeg to spend the summer with her Indigenous father and grandmother, where she sees firsthand what it means to be an "urban Indian." On her family's nearby reserve, she learns more than she expects about the lives of Indigenous people, including the presence of Indigenous gangs and the multi-generational effects of the residential school system. But River also discovers a deep respect for and connection with the land and her cultural traditions. The highlight of her summer is attending the annual powwow with her new friends. At the powwow after party, however, River drinks too much and posts photos online that anger people and she has her right to identify as an Indigenous person called into question. Can River ever begin to resolve the complexities of her identity — Indigenous and not?
