Daughter of the Keeper of Fire

Daunis Fontaine dreams of starting a new life, but a tragedy strikes her family,
and 18-year-old Daunis puts her future on hold to
support her mother. Meeting Jamie, a hockey star, lights up
Daunis's life, but it seems that Jamie is hiding something. Everything
becomes clear when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder
and the FBI pulls her into an investigation that requires her brilliant
knowledge of chemistry and traditional medicine of the Ojibwe tribe. The search for the truth leads her into a labyrinth of nightmarish secrets and stirs old wounds. The number of victims rises, and Daunis's confusion reaches
its limit, and she must understand what it means to be strong and how far
she will go for the truth, even if it destroys the world she holds
dear.
