Ellie isn’t your average Texas teen—she can raise the spirits of dead animals, including her loyal ghost dog, Kirby. But when her cousin’s ghost appears, whispering that his “accident” was murder, Ellie vows to find the truth.
Her search drags her deep into a town brimming with secrets, where old money and old magic walk hand in hand. With her best friend Jay, her fierce family, and the guidance of her legendary ancestor, Elatsoe, Ellie confronts dangerous forces intent on keeping the past buried.
As shadows close in, Ellie must wield ancestral knowledge and unflinching courage to uncover a killer. Mystery, horror, and Indigenous storytelling entwine in a dazzling debut where ghosts aren’t just real, they’re family.
