The three Nefzawi brothers, Ibrahim and Ghazwan and Fred, are on a mission to the far reaches of northern Canada in the winter. They seek the hidden monastery of "The Old Man," a sage who they believe has the answers to all the big questions in life. On the way they meet Eden Thornhill, a scout from the previous expedition fifty years earlier, who claims to have been stranded only a few days. With supplies running low, and with the shadows of Wendigo stalking them, the brothers doubt their mission, and then they doubt each other. A spinoff novella from "The Hidden Houses," the author's Kickstarter-funded urban fantasy series, The Seekers is a modern-day fairy tale about brotherhood, courage, and obsession.
