Summary
Between Grandmother Mountain and the cold sea, Alaia and her family live off the land, but when one of her brothers goes hunting and never returns, the fragile balance of life is upset. Half-starved and maddened with grief, Alaia's mother follows her visions and goes in search of her lost son, while a stranger from a rival tribe appears seeking shelter, describing a great wave and a people perished. Hopes of resolution come when all the Auk people come together for their annual Gathering Night. Some descriptions of violence and some descriptions of sex. c2009
