Set around the January 26, 1700 Cascadia megathrust, the novel follows five interwoven POVs from river, inlet, and island communities on the North Pacific Coast. Tayi' (Cowichan) wrestles grief and stubborn pride until a night of sky-born "thunder without storm" forces him to lead children uphill; afterward he's entrusted with Thunderbird elements in regalia-weight that means work. Saayaa (Nuu-chah-nulth), trained in disciplined whaling protocol, becomes a steady field captain as waves reverse rivers and a stranded whale demands both honor and fair sharing. Tom (Kwakwaka'wakw) carves a teaching pole-Thunderbird above, Whale below-its inland-glancing beak a quiet map children can read when fear erases words. K'uugii (Haida) keeps a ledger-paddle of odd slacks and eddies while glimpsing Sg̲aana in the sea; his crossings knit villages after the flood. Shaadéi (Tlingit) holds family together with crest law-Kéet as obligation, not ornament-turning ridge drills and cache routes into everyday practice.
Interludes widen the lens: a Japanese clerk records an "orphan wave"; ghost forests mark sudden subsidence; a present-day museum chapter frames crests, poles, and protocols with care. The climax is not a single battle but an accord at the tide-line-sky and sea, story and science-where communities formalize shared routes, raise teaching poles, and pass on the sentence that saves lives: count your doorways, and when the sky speaks to the sea-go uphill.
