Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. First American edition. As new condition. "Tron, a novice priest, has spent his entire life in blind obedience to the major Priests who serve the gods of the sun, moon, and air. On the day of the ritual consecration of the king, however, Tron is Goat Boy -- allowed for one day to act on any impulse. At the silent command of the god of the air, Tron steals the Blue Hawk, thereby dooming the king to death and himself to exile. In the wilderness, Tron slowly trains the hawk, and tries to make sense of the sinister machinations that pervaded his temple. As Tron and the hawk make their way through a terrifying unknown land, through the intrigues of the priests and through the apolcalyptic war that transforms the kingdom, the youth struggles with the conflicting appeals of altruism and antagonism, the life of a hunter versus the life of a priest, wisdom versus mere cleverness".
