'Sunktokeca, warrior-shaman, son to the god Ate, is banished from his adopted tribe, leaving behind the woman he loves, and his self-identity shattered. Beneath a prophesied blood moon, Sunktokeca's dormant power flares and Ate sends him to defeat Ska-Sicanagi, a vengeful spirit driven to poison the land and destroy the gods.
'Sunktokeca is accompanied by Yalse, true kin and Trickster god; Mastinca, his childhood friend and Wazichan, an exiled female warrior. Seeking a weapon capable of destroying Ska-Sicanagi, Yalse leads Sunktokeca to the frozen southern islands to make a bone arrow; a powerful but tainted magic created by taking a life.
'In the endless winter darkness, Sunktokeca must make a terrible sacrifice to defeat Ska-Sicanagi; balancing life and death in his hands.'
