Talon of the Silver Hawk [Concave of Shadows Book One]

HarperVoyager, Australia, 2002. First Australian Edition. Hardcover. Good Condition/Very Good. Among the Orosini tribe, the traditional manhood begins three days before the Midsummer's celebration. Alone, the child must survive the wilderness; exploring remote climes, contemplating the lore of his family and clan, his tribe and nation, and seeking the wisdom of his ancestors in a search to understand his place in the universe and discover his manhood name. Kielianapuna - red squirrel - is struggling. For two days and two nights he has waited for the gods to grant him a vision, the key to their plan for him, but so far he remains cold, lonely and despairing, and on the brink of giving up. Returning to his village, nameless and still a child, he stumbles upon devastation. His village is being burned, his people slaughtered, but as he hurries to help his family Kieli is struck from above. Sharp claws pierce his shoulders as a rare silver hawk lands and takes flight just as swiftly: his vision or a warning? 390 pages. Tanning to pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos.
