It is said that one day, wherever River walks, the earth will turn green again.
In the dying wasteland that is rural Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the year 2036, this seems impossible. But where others see impossibilities, twelve-year-old River cultivates hope. She sees what a new world can be, even when the oppressive regime known as the Elect enslaves more and more people every day. Even if it means sacrificing herself along the way.
In this second installment of the Taggak Journey trilogy, River has left Gran Flo and her swamp far behind. She's joined by her cousin Tag, their guide to shadow running, a means to travel in secrecy requiring complete focus. But without proper food and sleep, how will they maintain the necessary concentration? And then there's Dr. Andrea Parker, the keeper of stories-and resentment. Left to fester, her resentment might just ruin everything. As these unlikely heroes struggle forward, will they stay loyal to each other and to themselves, taking Flo's voice and vision as their compass? Will River walk her path and fulfill Flo's prophecy?
River Becomes Shadow is a story of devotion and resilience in the face of heartbreak and brutality. It encourages readers to look into the not-so-distant future, at the very real possibility of an apocalyptic world, and believe that we are enough to change it, no matter how broken we may be.
