Review
Moon has spent his life hiding what he is -- a shape-shifter able to
transform himself into a winged creature of flight.
An orphan with only vague memories of his own kind, Moon tries to fit in
among the tribes of his river valley, with mixed success. Just as Moon
is once again cast out by his adopted tribe, he discovers a
shape-shifter like himself . . . someone who seems to know exactly what
he is, who promises that Moon will be welcomed into his community. What
this stranger doesn't tell Moon is that his presence will tip the
balance of power . . . that his extraordinary lineage is crucial to the
colony's survival . . . and that his people face extinction at the hands
of the dreaded Fell! Now Moon must overcome a lifetime of conditioning
in order to save himself . . . and his newfound kin.
