Raven Duet series.
In 2094, Kelsa encounters a handsome youth who claims he's Raven, the "Native American trickster spirit." Kelsa must take up a quest, begun by a Navajo shaman in 1892, to heal her environment. The theme is timely, but the major restoration that happens here is a little facile (as is the depiction and appropriation of folkloric trickster Raven).
