Okeanos, (Paperback)

In the late nineteenth century, the harsh yet beautiful wind-swept peaks and<br>ocean channels of Tierra del Fuego are home to Ihtamak, a Yahgan Indian<br>shaman fighting to protect her clan from encroaching disease and death.<br>Using her knowledge of the natural and spirit worlds, a deepening connection<br>to a looming animal presence guides her to fateful decisions that may<br>determine the fate of her people. <p>Two centuries later, Fen Marshal is a still-young man in a chaotic modern<br>world laced with conflict and violence. During a harrowing evacuation of<br>refugees from a war zone, his life is upended by the rescue of a silent refugee<br>girl of unknown origin, Metis. Years later, he meets a Chilean man of Yahgan<br>descent who claims to be in contact with a mysterious whale spirit. The man's<br>presence seems to trigger unusual behavior in Metis. Is there a connection<br>between the two strangers? The natural landscapes and rules of Ihtamak's past<br>world and the chaotic and human-centered ones of Fen's present seem destined<br>to collide with shattering consequences. </p><p>Singh's debut novel spans four continents and two centuries, exploring themes<br>of extinction, evolution, conflict, and morality in a work of literary fiction with<br>a post-humanist sensibility and an insistent undertow of magical realism.</p>
