3. The narrative deals with Charles Hobuhet, a hurt, sensitive and vindictive young native American man and his kidnapping of a young white boy that he intends to sacrifice in reparation for all of the wrongs done against his people. It's also a dark look into the human spirit, and the bond that forms between captor and captive. The story revolves around the kidnapping of a young boy who happens to be the son of a prominent politician. He is kidnapped by a Native American living in the California coastal mountains because the 'Indian' has been given a vision by Bee, his spirit creature. He has to find out whether this boy is worthy of what destiny says the 'Indian' must do. The ending is well worth the length of the novel itself.
