By about 1300, the Sky Hand people dominate the Black Warrior Valley from the fortified centre of Split Sky City, having defeated and enslaved the Albaamaha. The ambitious Smoke Shield rises within this system and prepares campaigns that may either secure the chiefdom or destroy it.
Old White, Trader and Two Petals enter the conflict through Choctaw country, using espionage, diplomacy and spiritual insight to survive competing factions. Two Petals must decide whether to betray her companions to Smoke Shield, while Trader’s personal attachments threaten the careful strategy on which all of their lives depend.
