Teenager Alvin is a "Maker" - gifted with the power to manipulate matter and energy. But his extraordinary abilities come with a heavy price. Haunted by premonitions of a cataclysmic war, Alvin must make a fateful choice: submit to the authority of the Native American elders, or take a stand against their traditions to prevent a devastating future. As tensions escalate, Alvin finds himself torn between his loyalty to his tribe and his need to forge his own destiny. In this epic tale of prophecy, power, and personal identity, one young man holds the key to the survival of his people.
