Salamander’s leadership is threatened as the Snapping Turtle, Alligator and Frog clans compete for influence and accuse one another of witchcraft and betrayal. His wives Anhinga and Pine Drop try to protect their household while Mud Stalker uses every disappearance and rumour to weaken Owl Clan.

Anhinga sees a chance to strike against the Sun People, but her plan may trigger the war Salamander has struggled to avoid. He must decide whether personal freedom is still possible or whether his position requires a sacrifice that will preserve the city at the cost of his own future.
