Orenda is a First Nations Iroquois belief that all natural objects and people possess a mystical energy. It is the force that allows us to effect change in the world and manifest transformation.

Caitlin proves herself a natural leader; inclusive, intelligent, and aware. Respected by her people, she endeavors to bridge the gap between the communities, offering them new opportunities that will benefit generations to come. But as they plan a new project to transform their lives, an old enemy resurfaces, threatening their newfound security. Loyalties are challenged, betrayal leads to unspeakable tragedy, and the ultimate act of revenge forces Caitlin to draw on her orenda before it threatens to destroy them both.
