Trickster Drift

Jared Martin is a teenager grappling with an increasingly chaotic life, both in the mundane world and the supernatural one. He inherited powerful, unpredictable abilities from his witch grandmother, Minerva, and his family lineage, which are becoming harder to suppress and control. As these powers manifest, they draw him into a dangerous underworld populated by ancient spirits and mythological beings, forcing him to confront truths about his heritage and the sacrifices associated with his abilities. Simultaneously, Jared must navigate the very real-world struggles of his family, particularly his father's ongoing battle with addiction and his own complicated relationship with his mother, all while trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy. The novel delves deeply into themes of Indigenous identity, the weight of ancestral legacies, and the pervasive impact of addiction on individuals and communities. It explores the intricate balance between embracing one's heritage, with its inherent magic and responsibilities, and the desire for a normal life. What makes *Trickster Drift* compelling is its masterful fusion of gritty, contemporary realism with vibrant Indigenous folklore and magical realism. Robinson creates a world where ancient spirits walk alongside struggling families, offering a unique and engaging narrative that is both deeply personal and universally resonant, as Jared faces the daunting task of understanding and wielding his powers while trying to heal his family and find his own path.
