Sinossi

Once upon a time a bear married a woman, and they had one son. When the boy was yet a little fellow he begged very hard to be allowed to leave the bear’s cave, and to go out into the world to see what was in it. His father, the Bear, however, would not consent to this, saying, “You are too young yet, and not strong enough. In the world there are multitudes of wicked beasts called men, who will kill you.” So the boy was quieted for a while, and remained in the cave. But, after some time, the boy prayed so earnestly that the Bear, his father, would let him go into the world, that the Bear brought him into the wood, and showed him a beech-tree, saying, “If you can pull up that beech by the roots, I will let you go; but if you cannot, then this is a proof that you are still too weak, and must remain with me.” The boy tried to pull up the tree, but, after long trying, had to give it up, and go home again to the cave.

    Milton 'Frisky' Farraday grinned as he set the bags of bills on the wooden table. The creaky old wooden table shook, as the money bags were slammed on them. 
    "Look at that loot and weep, boys! We're rich! Rich!" 
    His breath reeked of tobacco, whiskey and rotten teeth. Frisky had several rows of teeth missing that his boys often wondered how he even managed to chew on food at all. They wondered to themselves, but they didn't bring it up to Frisky, unless they wanted to risk getting lead poisoning from one of his peacemakers. 
    "We sure did it, Frisky! Their bank was just asking to be robbed right there!"

    Do you believe that spirits do exist? Do you believe that the Spirit of God and his angels could really save us in times of distress? 
    Larna Woods as a child had already been communicating with the spirits and even played with them. Her family, however, didn't believe she could interact with these beings, thinking these were just all in her mind. As she grew up, she wasn't aware that this was a "gift" until she met a nun who was visiting her mother's aunt in Cincinnati. 
    The nun gave her signs when it will be known to her. Soon, she dreamed about her youngest brother's impending death. Times passed and her life seemed to be pointless. 
    One winter day, she heard a voice inside a car driven by her drunken boyfriend, telling her to get out of the vehicle. She obliged, and she and her son were saved from an accident. At the time, she still didn't know her purpose until her mother told her about a church that has members who are like her. She had changed a lot since then and desired to know more about her "gift."

    Abby 
     
     
     
    Orphaned and raising my little brother on an alien planet had never been part of my life plan. Yet, here I am. 
     
     
     
    Experience has taught me not to rely on or trust anyone, especially men. So when one of the native alien warriors rushes in to "protect me" from a guy in our human settlement, my response is anger. Soon after though, circumstances force me to move to the Tavikhi village. As I find myself spending more time around Rojtar, I begin to realize he might be the one man I can trust. 
     
     
     
    Rojtar 
     
     
     
    Since before the cold season, I have watched five of my tribe brothers find their keeshla—their fated mate—among the human females. It is something I wish for myself more than anything. 
     
     
     
    When I come across a human female being intimidated by a worthless male, instinct makes me step in to defend and protect her. A feeling—a knowing—of some kind tells me Abby is my mate. Her distrust of people makes me act with caution though. Despite my overwhelming desire to touch her and see if she triggers my mating marks to appear, I will not. Instead, I must do all I can to earn her love. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
