"The people of the plains are once more returning to the way of their ancestors now that the Spanish Hairfaces have been driven back to El Paso Del Norte, but there is unexpected danger on the old trail...

These are strange times for the people of the plains--a time of sudden endings and uncertain beginnings. White Fox, son of Moonflower and Red Feather, makes a solitary and treacherous journey into the past, a visionquest to eerie Medicine Rock. Through the ancient practices of fasting and meditation, White Fox seeks quidance for the destiny of the People--and recieves a strange omen of evil instead. On his way back to his tribe, he comes upon the corpse of a warrior laid out for burial, and when he stops to investigate, he is set upon by a beautiful female attacker who disappears without a trace. Haunted by her memory and his own dark visions, White Fox finds himself strangely drawn back to Medicine Rock--and to the aid of his mysterious enemy who battles a greater evil than his people have ever known."
