Eleven thousand years ago, melting glaciers transform the Pacific coast and the lands that will become California. Mammoths and other great animals are disappearing, but Sunchaser, the community’s Seer, can no longer find his way into the spirit world to explain what is happening.

The arrival of Kestrel, a fugitive fleeing an abusive husband, turns ecological uncertainty into a moral test. Sunchaser must choose between protecting the woman he comes to love and the demand that she be surrendered to appease both her pursuer and the Powers, while his rival Catchstraw seeks influence through destructive magic.
