It is early fall and a fuel spill has contaminated the marine foods the village was preparing to harvest. As food supplies dwindle, a small group decides to make a late season expedition to search for sea lions. Surprised by a ferocious storm, they abandon one man, Carpe, on an isolated rock at sea. After ten days they are finally able to return, but he has vanished. The story follows Carpe's encounters with the Lord of the Rock, who demands retribution for Carpe's role in the hunt, and Carpe's fate in the half-life between human and animal, life and death. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Yahgulanaas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771622245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771622240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas \u0026amp; McIntyre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 10.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Michael Yahgulanaas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986338087167,"sku":"9781771622240","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b0fc308-3659-4265-a388-c36745b508dc.jpg?v=1683282770","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/carpe-fin-michael-yahgulanaas-9781771622240","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
