Tensions rise within the clan as their fear of humans leads them to recall their painful history. When an old comrade of Jack's is found wounded in the forest, the clan's long-lost prophet tends to him. As the Day of Destruction looms ever closer, the prophet must return to her clan... but how will they react to having yet more humans among them?...

When Jack, a wartime field medic, decides he's seen enough of war and leaves, he gets more than he bargained for - his travels take him through the mountains, where he meets a young, winged boy! After nursing him back to health, he realizes the child must be one of the 'bird-folk' of legend. Though they soon become friends, the rest of the boy's tribe isn't so quick to accept the human... in fact, they want him dead!...
