A golden walrus...
And one courageous young girl.

In the frozen north, a land of deadly weather and unforgiving spirits, the shaman is all that stands in the way of disaster. When Alaana is called upon to become shaman for the Anatatook people she discovers a kaleidoscopic world where everything is alive, where the tent skins whisper at night and even the soapstone pot has tales to tell. She faces vengeful ghosts and hungry demons as she travels the dangerous path to becoming a shaman.
And there's just one other problem. Girls aren't allowed to be shamans.
This is Book One in an epic fantasy series with a unique arctic setting. All fans of fantasy will enjoy these five novels.
Excerpt
From 'On Sila's Wings':
The world reshaped itself again.
Throughout the incredible landscape below a vast number of golden sparkles flared up abruptly. Suddenly it was clear to Alaana how all things were connected, like innumerable glittering embers in a giant smoldering hearth. From the lowliest creature scrabbling beneath the snows to the loftiest falcon, even the great frosted mountain peaks and the giant floes of implacable ice, every stone and plant and drift possessed an individual and unique spirit. And she came to know them all. It was a kaleidoscopic world where everything was alive. As her soul blew apart into countless fragments scattered on the wind, a process as indescribably thrilling as it was terrifying, each part forged a connection to some dauntless or struggling spirit, to each and every soul-light twinkling below.
“This is the spirit vision,” said Sila, the Walker In The Wind.
