When sixteen-year-old Rebecca is forced from her Cherokee homeland during the brutal Indian Removal of 1838, she discovers her grandmother's traditional teachings are more than ancient wisdom—they're a gateway to hidden power. As soldiers drive her family and thousands of others from their homes, Rebecca's world transforms, revealing abilities she never knew she possessed: stat-based attributes like strength and stamina for the journey ahead, skills in identifying healing plants, the gift of understanding sacred symbols, and a deepening connection to her people's spiritual practices. Each skill appears to her as clearly as the trail ahead, complete with levels and progression paths that follow the natural way her people have always learned.
