Four thousand years ago in the lower Mississippi Valley, the death of a respected leader forces his younger brother Salamander into authority before he is ready. He inherits his brother’s wives, assumes responsibility for Owl Clan and is required to marry an enemy’s daughter to secure trade and political support.

Salamander would prefer the natural world to council politics, but assassination, clan rivalry and competing spiritual claims leave him no refuge. The novel follows his transformation from an underestimated youth into a leader who must learn when compromise preserves his people and when it merely strengthens those plotting against them.
