The moon had reached its maximum three times since the Chacoans conquered j the First Moon People. The Chaco matrons had built their Great House high, atop First Moon Mountain and their red-shirted warriors stalked arrogantly through the villages. Young Ripple had no desire to become a Dreamer, but when Cold Bringing Woman, the goddess of winter, appears at his high mountain camp, she sends him on a perilous quest to destroy the hated Chacoans. In retaliation, war chief leather Hand and his warriors embark on a campaign of terror so gruesome it remains unrivalled in the annals of prehistory. In the white light of the lunar maximum, the Pueblo gods will dance - and an empire will be engulfed in flames and mayhem.
