"Cast aside your ways of evil, and the greenness will return to our mesas. Hold this evil close to your breasts, O People, and you will be driven and smitten as dry leaves before the winter wind." This was the prediction of the ancient woman, she who possessed the third eye of seeing. And with foreboding finality she concluded, "Thus I have spoken, and thus it will be."
With the fulfillment of her prophetic words a deadly battle of hide and seek unfolds. Through a labyrinth of danger and intrigue travel the hunted and the hunter: the lovely Outcast Tala - fleeing for life, seeking inner peace and her promised love; the Betrayer Saviki, evil incarnate - he plays a treacherous game of deceit and annihilation; Hawk - a boy really who has much to learn about life and love.
