Hija del guardián del fuego

As an unofficial member of her Native American tribe, a biracial girl, and the product of a scandal, Daunis Fontaine never quite fit in. She dreams of putting her past behind her, starting over and studying medicine, but tragedy forces her to care for her frail mother on the Ojibwe reservation and put her future on hold. The only positive thing is meeting Jamie, but she feels that he is a boy hiding something... One day she witnesses a murder that puts her at the center of a criminal investigation. A deadly drug threatens her community, and Daunis trusts her knowledge of chemistry and traditional medicine to help him track down the culprit. But the search for the truth is cruel: Ella Daunis must learn what it means to be a strong Ojibwe woman and how far she is willing to risk to protect the people from her.
