From the moment he laid eyes on it, young Beaver of the Elk-dog People felt drawn to the spirit of the pipestone. Now heβs setting out on a vision quest to the only place the red stone can be mined: the Pipestone Quarry. Traveling with a traderβs young family, Beaver learns the ways of barter as he follows the trade routesβand his inner guidesβto an adventure that may cost his life. For Beaver must uncover the pipestoneβs secret to break a curse that has suddenly befallen their traveling party. And he must stand between a merciless warrior people and a breakaway band of their former neighbors, among whom is the beautiful widow Pale Moon. Is Pale Moon the final curse that stands between Beaver and the pipestoneβor the sign he needs to complete his quest?
