Description
The true enemy has finally revealed himself, threatening the Pepps like never before. As the defenseless Pepps attempt to find a way to protect themselves from Aitin, eighteen-year-old Alena works with Eli, the chief's brother, to come up with a plan to fight. Unfortunately, the only plan they come up with involves asking assistance from people who hate the Pepps. The Mixed Bloods. Without any other options, Mark, Eli, and Alena despairingly travel to a community of sickly Mixed Bloods, where sure enough help is refused, unless Alena gives them something first. Something with a heavy price. Desperate to meet their time-limited demands without compromising their deepest values, Alena and Mark search for a way around the rules of their totem, hoping to find an answer before someone gets hurt. Fortunately, their small team discovers a clue that leads them to an invaluable piece of information. With renewed hope, Alena and Mark return to the Mixed Bloods, keeping their end of the deal by giving them what they've longed for all their lives. In return, the Mixed Bloods train to fight. Alena's new friends are just starting to enjoy their freedom, learn the abilities in their newfound power, when Aitin strikes. Will it be enough, to come together, to heal, to train, and to fight? Will they be able to save the Pepps, the world, and ultimately the source of true happiness?
