'The second part of the Stars and a Wind Trilogy takes Skarga deeper into the mysteries of a vast frozen land, with unknown creatures. Still unsure who is friend and who is enemy, all she does know is that she is deeply in love. Skarga clings to the hope that her new lover will protect her, and perhaps even love her back. But there are more dangers waiting. Mandegga is one of the last female Transanima, she believes it is her right to claim the dominant male and procreate. Skarga is just a small human, but she must beat Mandegga if she is to stand a chance of staying by Thoddun’s side and surviving her brothers’ threatened attack. Skarga will not always be welcome, and although she knows where she is going, she does not know what else she will find there. Other dangers creep closer. Some are very familiar but others do not even have a name.'
