One minute you're top of the world, the next you're in free fall. Fortune lost. Family destroyed. Innocence snuffed. Your right brain knows it all happened for a reason, yet your left brain tells you it was engineered by something more sinister than greed that ultimately requires a reckoning. Who triggered it and why? After the dust of shock and shame settles, you will have to find the truth. But where? Graylin Wakefield, deposed 'It-Boy' of Seattle's tech world, is missing. An expert backcountry hiker, Wakefield has done something completely out-of-character. He's gone on a wilderness trek alone. His 10-year-old is worried sick; his 14-year-old worried she won't get a car at 16. His ex-wife is furious-there's finally an offer on the vacation home and she can't close the deal without him. His brother is regretting their rift, his father is in denial, while his mother-descendant of Lakota healers-senses her son is on an unscheduled spirit quest. His hiking buddies are baffled, but curiously unsurprised. The perils of the wilderness, however, have yet to compare with the dark intent of the powerful man who is determined to prove him dead. But none of them can find him. Their homegrown techno-wizard has eluded cell towers and surveillance cameras-jettisoned technology-and taken a sudden detour straight into the unknown of his Native roots. The sun is setting in the East, time is shifting backwards. Standing above an enormous waterfall, he's ready to change his world or let this white-water-gone-mad take him into another. A cougar stalks him as a raven laughs. An eagle watches. Are they real, or the spirits of his ancestors here to drive his journey? Past is colliding with Present, one world with another, and his life-changing answers are somewhere inside this unfolding, miraculous disaster. Transformation, everyone will soon discover, can come in the mysterious guise of shape-shifting or through a simple change of mind.
