Description
Fleet is a young Sceadu hunter: strong, fast and fearless. She hunts deep into the forests and frigid, snowy wastelands in search of meat for her people. The seasons have faltered, robbing the rivers of water and fish, and plunging the Sceadu into a fight for survival. While Fleet is on hunt, the Sceadu's shamanic leader dies and the new Siah, who is no friend to Fleet, marries Ashin, the man Fleet loves. The new Siah visions Fleet a task: cross the impassable ice-locked mountains and retrieve that which will return water and fish to the Sceadu's rivers. Do this or never be part of the Sceadu people again. As Siah's rival for Ashin's love, Fleet believes she is being sent to her death. She refuses the task but in a moment of anger, breaks the hunter's sacred law of Talabraith and sets out into the mountains to atone with her life. In a journey that takes Fleet deep into the darkness and into the very heart of Death itself, she learns that doing the impossible is just the beginning.
