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

Georgia walked up and down her living room and ranted at her parents. She knew it wasn't their fault, but they were there.


"That woman is a menace," she shouted, "first she sets Ryley off in the schoolyard, then tries to blame Ryley for her stupidity. Now she's trying to make Mrs. Dalrymple crazy."


"I told you," her mom said, "sometimes people have panic attacks. It just happens."


"It didn't just happen." Georgia clenched her fists. "Maria told me Marc said she was yelling at Leigh and banging on the door. Sandra called the police! Then when she was gone Ms. Taladut yelled at the class and told them it was all their fault. She tried to teach them but she got everything all wrong. Half the class was in tears by lunch time! We have to do something. She told the class Mrs. Dalrymple was too sick to come back.


"There's nothing we can do," Georgia's mom said, "She's the Principal. It's her job to run the school."
