Description
Nyla has an affinity to fire. A neglected teen in a small northern town--trying to escape a mother battling her own terrors--she is kicked out and struggles through life on the streets.
Desperate for love, Nyla accidentally sets fire to her ex's building and is then incarcerated for arson.
Through community-led diversion, Nyla finds herself on a reserve as their firekeeper.
But when climate change-induced wildfires threaten her new home, she knows intimately how to fight back.
The fourth book from acclaimed writer Katlia brings a Northern Indigenous perspective to the destructive effects of ongoing colonialism.
Displaying Katlia's enthralling storytelling style, Firekeeper is a coming-of-age tale that addresses intergenerational trauma by reclaiming culture, belonging and identity.
Join Nyla on her healing journey through the fire to sacred waters.
