... settling in with Kaede, his daughter Shigeko and his twins Miki and Maya. However, hidden to everyone else is his other son in the hands of the tribe called Hisao, which will ultimately lead him to his death. This book follows each characters story and alternating through each characters perception and showing us what they see and think.
