"In this chapter of his story, Cloud is one of two fathers who bring up each other's sons. Bolder is Cloud's son by birth-- beautiful and golden, but raised by Shaman, a rival band stallion. Flint, dark and determined, was sired by Shaman, but became Cloud's adopted son. The two sons mature and progress from playful youths into valid contenders for mares and bands of their own. Will one of them rise to take Cloud's place? This poignant and engrossing chronicle explores the challenges presented not only by ambitious sons, but also by the harsh mountain weather, deadly mountain lion attacks, and the changing relationships within and among bands of wild horses in the mountains"--Container.
