Synopsis

They call themselves the Tskkannee, or the People of the Autumn Moon. They live in poverty and were at one time the lowest and poorest of the tribes on the great steppe on which they live. But then they discovered horses, and began great migrations in the spring and fall, following the bison that also inhabit their great plains. And they became the most fearsome of the tribes on those plains, dedicated to warfare and ‘the joy of killing.” They take their enemies’ women and children as their own and they torture and kill the men and anyone who remains. They live in portable tents, wear nothing but the small loin cloths, paint themselves red, and eat nothing but very greasy food. And they have lice. And now they have discovered a large nest of dragon eggs hidden in the caldera of an immense stratovolcano along their seasonal migratory route. These are not to be tolerated, as they can hatch and become a threat, and the result is that the Tskkannee attack and kill (and eat) one of the guardian dragons. The Tskkannee now number in the thousands, and nothing can stand in the way of their next—and final—attack. Nothing except a small group humans and elves, and the dragons themselves. And the Endunnlin, the small, blue-haired, blue-eyed Moon Elf, Akiko.
