Echo needs two great gifts from her husband--his magic and his power--that govern the lives of all the People.Set in prehistoric Southwestern United States around 900 A.D., in this story of life and death and desire, a girl becomes a young woman who must use her power and strength against the terrifying events and changes in her world.
