HONOUR YOUR ROOTS. BREAK THE RULES. UNCOVER THE TRUTH.
Perry Firekeeper-Birch has every intention of quitting her internship. Being stuck in a stuffy museum was never part of her carefree summer plans. But everything changes when Perry meets Warrior Girl, a Native American ancestor whose remains are locked up in a university archive. Perry's rebellious spark becomes a righteous blaze, and she vows to bring Warrior Girl home - where she belongs. With the help of an unlikely team, including her twin sister and a charming new boy in town, Perry plots a daring heist.
Old rivalries and sister secrets will not stop her from uncovering the truth and protecting her community.
