Liva (daughter of Harrison's hound and bear protagonists) needs help from a village boy and a legendary Snowbird, as well as a richer understanding of love and sacrifice, to complete her destiny. As in the folktales Harrison's novel invokes both thematically and stylistically, the boundaries separating humans and animals are thin, and many mysteries remain tantalizingly unexplained.
