Stoneman Firewoman

About the Book

Four fugitives from the Village of the Whitars are the central figures of this part of the trilogy. Two men and two women, who were forced to leave their homeland, escape into a protective canyon to fin a home of their own. During their flight, they become inseparable allies; each couple with a love story of its own. On the fist leg of their emigration, they are forced to cope with a different group of beings that are fugitive as well. These news and separate people emerge as enemies, but as a whirlwind of events unroll, they meld into lasting friends. In an effort to evolve in a better climate, this motley band forges its way over a mountainous divide in search of a place to live, only to find that they have unwittingly ventured into an area claimed by powerful and vindictive inhabitants. The result is a war that pits a primitive force with overwhelming numbers against the allied group who have managed to invent some sophisticated weaponry. Lastly, as the hostilities end, the survivors that remain form new and surprising liaisons that enhance their lives.
