Rorin is the leader of her small tribe of people, the Inku. They must raid human villages to survive, but Rorin wishes more for her people. A steadier way of life as traders is preferable to this violent lifestyle. But this way of life is steeped in tradition and not everyone wishes to be ushered into a new era of peace and trading.
  Without many years left as leader, can she navigate these turbulent political waters while creating a better life for her people? Will the humans they have been killing for not an insignificant number of years consider the Inku as trading partners instead of enemies? Is there a way for a warrior's blackened heart to be brought back to beating with forbidden love?
