Just when Bria was starting to feel comfortable with her new friends
and powers again, she had to take a huge step back... a 250-year step
back, to be exact! When the evil conqueror Night casts the Dozen into
the distant past, the team will be forced to make a few adjustments.
Instead of a mayor, the Dozen will have the historical Potawatomi chief
Siggenauk to govern and guide them. Instead of houses and apartments,
they'll have to make themselves at home in wigwams and longhouses.
Instead of fast or frozen food, they'll be dining on whatever they can
find in the nearby streams and forest!
Gone are the Milwaukeeans of the present, replaced by the very clan that
helped to get the city started! Thankfully, Bria's mind-reading abilities
allow for limited yet essential communication between the clan and the
Dozen. Will she crack under the pressure of this new responsibility, or
will friendship prove to need no translation?
From a cutthroat game of lacrosse to dealing with a less-than-honest
band of fur traders, Bria and her friends will learn just what it meant
to be an original citizen of the homeland they and the clan have in
common!
