Deer Cloud must walk the narrow ledge between tradition and change for his people. He is blinded by the wolf flower herb that the jealous shaman Stone Face made him drink. Deer Cloud’s eyes are dilated until they are nothing but black discs. He must walk the ledge without seeing; he must walk it blind, as we often do in life. He follows the sound of Jumping Rabbit’s voice until he stumbles into her arms. Thus begins their journey to change their world. Four thousand years ago in the canyons along the Rio Grande, people made polychrome paintings on the walls to dance the stories of the Powerful Ones. Deer Cloud is such a painter. When his influential grandfathers, Panther Claw dies, Deer Cloud must finish the painting and undertake the ordeals of the wolf shrines to gain the power to lead his people. But the jealous Stone Face will do anything, even kill, to stop Deer Cloud’s rise.
