A riveting thriller set on the windswept Alaskan tundra
John Morgan and his wife can barely contain their excitement upon arriving as the new teachers in a Yup’ik Eskimo village on the Alaskan tundra. Lured north in search of adventure, the couple hope to immerse themselves in the ancient Arctic culture. But their move proves disastrous when a deadly epidemic strikes and the isolated tundra community descends into total chaos. When outside help fails to arrive, John’s only hope lies in escaping. His thousand-mile trek across the Alaskan wilderness grows more improbable when he encounters a blind Eskimo girl and an elderly woman. The two need his protection from those who would harm them, and he needs their knowledge of the terrain and their companionship to survive. The harsh journey and constant danger push him beyond his limits as he discovers a new sense of hope and the possibility of loving again.

“Underneath this story’s intrigue, suspense and insider knowledge, there is something darker, more disturbing…Rearden portrays how pollution affects northern culture and the subsistence way of life, as well as the systematic poverty of which ‘outsiders’ have little knowledge…Beyond poverty, substance abuse and suicide we find characters with buoyancy and hope."
“The Raven’s Gift is a compelling read—well-crafted, engaging…The term ‘page-turner’ comes to mind. But it’s dark and frightening for a midwinter read.”
“The Raven’s Gift has a winning plot, characters we’ve never met before, and intriguing details of a world most of us will never venture to—creating a read that opens our eyes and finds the fault lines of a heart in one breathless sitting.”
“At first glance, The Raven’s Gift might appear to be an epic thriller set in the ancient land of the Yup’ik tundra, but it goes much farther than that into the delicate frontiers of the human heart—the best book I’ve read this year.”
“An epic adventure, a work of mythical dimensions, never to be forgotten.”
