Pathfinder

Rigg, a thirteen-year-old backcountry trapper, can see the paths left by people and animals across time. After his father dies and Rigg is blamed for a friend's brother's death, he leaves home with Umbo and becomes drawn into a larger mystery involving power, politics, and travel between worlds. The novel interweaves Rigg's journey with the story of Ram Odin, a starship captain whose voyage to a colony world creates a far-reaching paradox.
