Famine and warfare spread among the five Iroquoian nations while Atotarho uses fear and spiritual authority to eliminate rivals. Sky Messenger, an ostracised warrior troubled by visions, believes that the coming destruction can be prevented only if leaders who were once childhood companions act together.

Old betrayals make alliance almost impossible, and each nation has reasons to distrust the others. The novel brings the Peacemaker’s message into an increasingly political form, asking whether shared catastrophe can persuade communities to replace vengeance with a structure capable of restraining powerful war leaders.
