It is a time of drought for the People of the Canyon and Trei convinces his father to attempt a bison hunt, a risky undertaking with their simple wooden spears. When the hunt ends in tragedy, Trei and his twin sister, Souk secretly decide to travel north. They have heard of a tribe who can throw a spear like a lightning bolt. But first they must escape their people, then begin a perilous journey north to the territory of the Manhunters. Finalist for the New Zealand Post Book Awards 2009.
