Empire Of Wild by Cherie Dimaline

A grieving Métis woman refuses to accept her husband’s sudden disappearance and eerie return and sets out to uncover the truth behind a charismatic preacher whose congregation and claims mask darker, possibly supernatural forces; teaming with a resourceful young woman and leaning on community memory and Indigenous myth, she navigates grief, land, and the legacies of colonial violence to confront shape-shifting spirits and reclaim stories, agency and resilience in a tense blend of horror, mystery and folk magic.
