Then, suddenly, a mysterious plague wipes out the entire Onhla population, leaving only one survivor, a youth named Hult. But is Hult really the last of his kind? According to ancient legend, a small group of Onhla, valued for their hunting prowess, had been taken away long ago to hunt on another world. If Hult can find them and bring them back to the homeland, the Onhla will live again. To get to Insgar, Hult must, for the first time in his life, bargain with city people and beings from the "other-worlds." They will do almost anything to obtain the shimmering silver pelts of the gorwol, a beast which only the Onhla can hunt-and with enough gorwol pelts, Hult can buy passage to anywhere in the universe. It is a perilous bargain at best. For the Onhla know nothing of the dangeous power of human emotions. How can he protect himself and his mission from the awesome forces of greed and hatred?
