Overview
FIRST EDITION. Hardcover in DJ in Good Condition. Ex-library
An epic and powerful tale -- rich and alive with atmosphere, adventure, poetic imagery, and colorful, unforgettable characters, "Cry of the Wind" is 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 a 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 set then 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.
