Haggling for scraps in the market, Treasure meets a man who promises to change their fortunes, but his feet are hovering just a few inches above the ground. He's a spirit, and he promises to bring Treasure's beloved father back to life if she'll do one terrible thing for him first. Ozoemena has an itch in the middle of her back. It's an itch that speaks to her patrilineal destiny, an honor never before bestowed upon a girl, to defend the land and protect its people by becoming a Leopard. Her father impressed upon her what an honor this was before he vanished, but it's one she couldn't want less--she has enough to worry about as she tries to fit in at a new boarding school.But as the two girls reckon with their burgeoning wildness and the legacy of their missing fathers, Ozoemena's fellow students start to vanish. Treasure's obligations to the spirit escalate, and Ozoemena's duty of protection as a Leopard grows. Soon the girls' destinies and choices alike set them on a dangerous collision course. Ultimately, they must ask in a world that always says no to women, what must two young girls sacrifice to get what is theirs? -- $c from the dust jacket. 650 0 $a Fathers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Spirits $v Fiction. 941 $a 6 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030138.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240202011943.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012732.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011708.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240111011220.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231202012339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1565CD0890E311EEA8442A1A39ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
