At the end of the Ice Age on the north-western coast, Rain Bear leads the struggling Raven People as changing climate and diminishing resources intensify rivalry with the North Wind People. Evening Star, an escaped captive from their enemy, arrives seeking sanctuary and warning that warriors are close behind her.

Protecting Evening Star may bring an attack that Rain Bear’s village cannot survive, but returning her means accepting torture and enslavement as the price of peace. The novel explores leadership under environmental pressure and the way captivity, ancestry and fear can turn neighbouring peoples into enemies.
