Description

Nyla's affinity for fire is both a blessing and a curse. After being kicked out of her home, she finds herself struggling to survive on the streets. Her desperate search for love leads to an accident that sets fire to her ex's building, resulting in her arrest for arson.

Through community-led diversion, Nyla is given a second chance when she becomes the firekeeper at a reserve. However, as climate change-induced wildfires threaten her new home, she must draw on her unique skills to fight back and protect the land she has come to care about.

This powerful coming-of-age tale addresses intergenerational trauma through Nyla's journey of healing and self-discovery. With its enthralling storytelling style, Firekeeper is a story that will resonate with readers who are looking for a powerful exploration of colonialism and its effects on Indigenous communities.
