When Little Hawk returns to his village after a three-month test of solitude, he finds it virtually eradicated by disease. Another tragedy befalls him, one that also haunts his colonial settler friend, John Wakeley, the story's second protagonist. The novel maintains an admirable sense of historical empathy as it chronicles the demise of the native way of life in the face of hostile invaders.
