First there was Kwani, the blue-eyed "witch, " whose turbulent, triumphant life was first chronicled in the New York Times best-seller She Who Remembers and continued in Voice of the Eagle. Now comes Antelope's story. Antelope is Kwani's beloved daughter, a worthy successor to her mother's magnificent legacy. Antelope's mate is Chomoc, the son of the legendary Kokopelli. When Chomoc's wanderlust leads him away from his tribe to the city of the Hasinai, in what will become the state of Oklahoma, Antelope refuses to be left behind. She breaks the taboos that demand she stay safely at home, and with her blue-eyed baby she prepares to join Chomoc. What she finds at the end of the journey is not grand adventure, but a sophisticated city full of hostile, tattooed strangers. The most menacing presence is the Great Sun, ruler of the city. Determined to rid himself of the threat of Antelope's mystic powers, and compelled by her beauty and the need to possess her, the Great Sun becomes Antelope's greatest enemy. Isolated from her people, and now torn apart from her mate, Antelope must find a way to survive and to keep her baby from human sacrifice.
