A rampaging ''''hero'''' seeking glory and power is on the warpath. By slaying a dragon, he has unsettled the natural powers of the region, leaving those in the shadow of the mountain to face an unstable, disrupted system of wind and weather. Dade, a mercenary who was ejected from his last band for an injury, hides his wound to take up a job he needs the pay of to have it healed- protecting a strange young man, Oreali, who emerged as if out of nowhere and devoured an offering to the gods. The local priestess, correctly guessing the boy was in fact the answer to the community''''s prayers, has charged Dade with keeping this immature immortal alive. Unfortunately for Dade, he must not only do that, but teach the petulant Oreali to become a man- and a warrior.
