Feather is captured by the fierce, wandering Blen tribe and taken far from her own people, the Wobans. Forced to work for her new masters, she finds a friend in Tag, a boy snatched from another tribe. Together they plan to escape. Feather is treated better after the Blens discover she can make fine arrows, but soon she learns her arrows may be used against her own people. Tag faces a rigorous test and snares a panther kitten. The Blens roam close to Feather’s homeland again. Can she and Tag escape and warn the peaceful Wobans before the Blens attack their village?
