In this haunting debut, Garth Stein brilliantly invokes his Native
American heritage and its folklore to create an electrifying
supernatural thriller. When a grieving mother returns to the remote
Alaskan town where her young son drowned, she discovers that the
truth about her son's death is shrouded in legend— and buried in a
terrifying wrinkle between life and death.
When Jenna Rosen abandons her comfortable Seattle life to return
to Wrangell, Alaska, it's a wrenching return to her past. Long ago
the home of her Native American grandmother, Wrangell is located
near the Thunder Bay resort, where Jenna's young son, Bobby,
disappeared two years before. His body was never recovered, and
Jenna is determined to lay to rest the aching mysterey of his
death. But the spectacular town provides little comfort beyond the
steady and tender affections of Eddie, a local fisherman. And then
whispers of ancient legends begin to suggest a frightening new
possibility about Bobby's fate. Soon, Jenna must sift thourgh the
beliefs of her ancestors, the Tlingit— who still tell of powerful,
menacing forces at work in the Alaskan wilderness.
There beliefs are shared by Dr. David Livingstone, a practicing
shaman who had been hired to "cleanse" Thunder Bay of its resless
spirits. The experience alsmost cost him his life, and he warns
Jenna about the danger of disturbing the legendary kushtaka—
soul-stealing predators that stalk a netherworld between land and
sea, the living and the dead. But Jenna is desperate for answers,
and she appeals to both Livingstone and Eddie to help her sort fact
from myth, and face the unthinkable possibilities head-on. Armed
with nothing but a mother's ferociousprotective instincts, Jenna's
quest for the truth about her son— and the strength of her beliefs—
is about to pull her into a terrifying and life-changing
abyss...

masterfully evokes our most primal dreams and fears. Remarkably
vivid and relentlessly suspensful, "Raven Stole the Moon" marks the
arrival of a stunningly imaginative new talent.
