Morningstar: The Searchers: (Jason’s Story)

Jason never meant to travel through time. One moment he was helping his sister and "girlfriend" and another girl… the next, the world cracked open and dropped them into the late 18th century—into a land of danger, alliances, and histories he never knew he’d become part of.When Bekah is taken by a band known as the Bloods, Jason refuses to abandon her. Joined by Bobby—another modern YA with Native roots—and two Shoshone warriors from the era, Jason sets out across mountain ranges, buffalo country, and the contested territories of the Plains tribes to bring her home.The journey becomes far more than a rescue.Jason finds himself navigating the cultures of the Crow, learning hard lessons under the wary eyes of the Blackfeet, and facing deadly encounters with Lakota and Arapaho warriors. A tense meeting with the Cree leaves him questioning everything he thought he knew about the past—and about himself.Through brutal cold, fear, loyalty, and unlikely friendships, Jason is forced to grow into someone stronger than the boy who fell through time. Along the way, he witnesses traditions, survival skills, and ways of life that textbooks barely touch—real history, carried in the hearts of the people who lived it.Morningstar: The Searchers is an authentic, culturally grounded YA historical adventure wrapped inside a time-slip mystery. Though part of the larger Morningstar series, Jason’s story stands firmly on its own—rich with emotion, danger, humor, and the unbreakable bonds that form when history and the present collide.Perfect for readers of:• YA historical fiction• Time-slip adventures• Indigenous history and culture• High-stakes rescue journeys• Character-driven coming-of-age stories Read more
