The new book in the saga of the Shing Stone.

Osian and Tiroc Og’s band of renegades continue their dangerous quest to Fire Mountain in search of Osian’s missing kin. All the while they are being hunted by the Morok for Osian’s strange acquisition: the Shining Stone, a thing of power with links far back in history to before the Ice Time.

Meanwhile, Osian has fallen for Gimin, a beautiful warrior of the Fox-Wolf tribe. But she, like so many others and so much else on this journey, is not what she seems. Facing betrayal from within, attacks by killer giant wolves, an impossible terrain and an overwhelming enemy, the obstacles that Osian and Tiroc Og are met with seem insurmountable.

In order to survive, they must rely on the powers of the Shining Stone. But until Osian can discover its deadly secret, he puts his destiny at even greater risk – and the lives of the entire warrior band.
