Cry of the Wind (Storyteller Trilogy, Book 2)

An epic and powerful tale--rich and alive with atmosphere, adventure, poetic imagery, and colorful, unforgettable characters, CRY OF THE WIND is a magnificent saga of spirit, love and hardship that pits a determined primitive people against the fury of inhospitable nature, and against themselves. As winter looms in place of icy splendor near the top of the world, the healing woman K'os--cast out by her own people and enslaved by the leader of an enemy tribe--plots her revenge against those who defiled her many years ago. In the meantime, Chakliux--the abandoned child she raised as her own--has grown into a man of honor, a powerful hunter and storyteller. But his weakness is a tender heart. And his feelings for Aqamdax--a beautiful young woman and former slave mated to a cruel and dangerous tribesman--threatens them both, for it has inspired the hatred of those who would see them destroyed rather than united. Their search for understanding and acceptance sets Chakliux and Aqamdax on a path that will place them at the mercy of the vast tundra as the long season of ice closes in.
