Une adolescente plongée dans l’émoi d’un premier amour, une femme en pleine crise mystique, un homme à tout faire aussi prompt à rendre service qu’à tordre le nez aux voyous, une amoureuse incapable de résister à l’appel du gâteau au chocolat : on reconnaît avec bonheur la marque de l’auteur du Matou dans la riche palette de personnages qui composent ce roman.

The government soon finds that the Indigenous people of North America have retained their dreams, an ability rumored to be housed in the very marrow of their bones. Soon, residential schools pop up--or are re-opened--across the land to bring in the dreamers and harvest their dreams.Seventeen-year-old French lost his family to these schools and has spent the years since heading north with his new found family: a group of other dreamers, who, like him, are trying to build and thrive as a community.

Meanwhile, out in the world, his found family searches for him and dodges new dangers--school Recruiters, a blood cult, even the land itself.
