Summary
Moon has spent his life hiding what he
is - a shape-shifter able to transform himself into a winged
creature of flight. An orphan with only vague memories of his
own kind, Moon tries to fit in among the tribes of his river
valley, with mixed success. Just as Moon is once again cast out
by his adopted tribe, he discovers a shape-shifter like
himself... someone who seems to know exactly what he is, who
promises that Moon will be welcomed into his community. What
this stranger doesn't tell Moon is that his presence will tip
the balance of power... that his extraordinary lineage is
crucial to the colony's survival... and that his people face
extinction at the hands of the dreaded Fell! Now Moon must
overcome a lifetime of conditioning in order to save and
himself... and his newfound kin.
