Not knowing if there are more aggressive tribes in the North like Blood Bear, the party travels carefully and in the guise of traders. They end up having to evade Wolverine tribe and its Eclipse Shaman who have taken up where Blood Bear left off and travel up past the pass created by Leareth in Magic's Price
to find Raven. Darian's parents, Daralie and Kullen Firkin, are found alive, prospering, and with more children as members of Raven tribe.
In the meantime, the Wolverine Shaman has tracked them down and Darian must fight his first mage duel.
