Synopsis
Darak and Griane now serve their tribe as Memory-Keeper and Healer, but trouble follows them. Their eldest son, Keirith, is dismissed from his apprenticeship with the Tree-Father after his master learns that he can ride the spirits of other living creatures. Afraid that his parents will turn from him too, Keirith runs away, and slavers capture him and carry him to a distant civilization. There he must come to terms with the truth about his powers. Darak sets out after the kidnappers in pursuit of his son, and on the way he has to face his deepest fears if he hopes to bring Keirith home.
