A white moose, seen as a spirit animal by the Cree is shot. The hunters are murdered, then the hunting lodges burned to the ground. A group calling themselves the White Moose Clan has declared war on Canada and Spruce Bay is caught in the middle. Jim and Leigh struggle with escalating tensions between groups in town as events spiral out of control.

Spruce Bay

Leigh heard the thumping on the door. Her first thought was to reach for her knitting. Her second thought was she wasn't in her own bed. She tried to figure out where she was. 


"Leigh, Leigh." Fran's voice came through the door. She remembered everything; the children attacking, Marie bleeding, Jim missing. She thought for a moment it would have been better if the children had killed her.


"I'm awake," Leigh left her wish unspoken.


"Get dressed, we have to go to the hospital."


"Somebody brought Jim in!" Fran shouted through the door. "He's alive."


Leigh didn't think she'd ever got dressed so quickly. 


"They just called." Fran already had coat and boots on. "We need to go."
