The true enemy has finally revealed himself, threatening the world like never before.
As the defenseless Pepps attempt to find a way to protect themselves, eighteen-year-old Alena works with Eli, the chief's brother, to come up with a plan to fight. Unfortunately, the only plan they come up with involves asking assistance from those who hate the Pepps.
The Mixed Bloods.
With little hope, Mark, Eli, and Alena travel to the Mixed Blood community, where sure enough help is refused unless Alena gives them something first. Something with a heavy price.
Desperate to meet their time-limited demands without compromising their deepest values, Alena and Mark search for a way around the rules of their totem, hoping to find answers before someone gets hurt.
Those answers are just starting to come, when the enemy strikes.
Will it be enough to come together, to heal, to train, and to fight? Will they be able to save the Pepps, the world, and ultimately the source of true happiness?
