Have you ever had your world turned upside down? When so-called enlightened heroes came to Tarkhan's village, it seemed like a day of celebration, but it turned into a day of tragedy, leaving his parents and older sister dead. Now he has tracked them, down seeking justice, and finds them threatening yet another woman. He also finds more than he bargained for: people in need of a real hero, a path to power; and a legacy his family has hidden for generations.  Meanwhile, in the woods, Sky Dancer has decided to stop running. She will face the end like the hunter she is. She will die for the pack. Or will she? Perhaps her end will instead lead to the pack being reborn stronger than ever?
