Spirit-Deep Silence

Yuki Sixkiller stands at the cliff edge, ready for the dive that could claim her final scrap of sight. Born into a Native community that claimed her as its own, she has already traded her vision for every freediving record. Now, at one hundred and twenty meters, the ocean spirit rises to meet her in the form of a great turtle, a laughing salmon, and a moon that drifts like a second heart. Each layer of pressure strips away the glory she earned and reveals the brothers, uncles, and unlived children she left on shore. As darkness meets the darkness already inside her eyes, Yuki must choose between the spirit-deep silence below and the fading world above. A literary graphic novel of mythic realism and elegiac intimacy, Spirit-Deep Silence asks what we sacrifice when legacy becomes the only story we have left to tell.
