As Takeo travels into new territory and towards an unknown life, the tribal rivalries, romances and histories at large in this new world are revealed to him. The times are treacherous and everyone is at risk...few to be trusted. Takeo has supernatural skills of the Tribe...preternatural hearing, and the ability to be in two places at once, invisibility.
