Long Bow #9

When a young friend vanishes, Long Bow and his companions search the forest—only to stumble upon a murder and become entangled in a theft that threatens to exile an innocent man from the tribe. Racing against the council's judgment, Long Bow must uncover who truly stole the village's guns and knives before injustice becomes permanent. A tale of misplaced trust, hidden enemies, and the price of speaking truth.

Long Bow and Foxfoot discover a mysterious track on an island that neither can identify—something that seems to belong to no creature they've ever encountered—and their investigation leads them into a confrontation with Spotted Hawk, who accuses them of robbing his rabbit traps. When the legendary Windigo itself appears to terrorize the island, the boys must uncover the truth behind the strange marks and terrifying screams before they become victims of the very curse they've stumbled upon.

Long Bow and his companions encounter a wounded rider in the hills and rush to help—but old Turtle-Face recognizes the danger of a decoy and holds them back. Through a cautionary tale of his father's past, Turtle-Face reveals how a similar act of mercy once set off a devastating fifty-year war, and now the young hunters must decide whether to trust the tracker's wisdom or their own instinct to aid a stranger in need.
