Prince Chagum has been granted the power to stave off drought and bring new life to his empire. But ever suspicious, court advisors declare that Chagum is possessed by an evil spirit and must be put to death by his own father's hand. Men and beasts from worlds near and far begin to hunt Chagum down, in search of the spirit that lives within him. Balsa the spearwoman is a wandering warrior who saves lives in atonement for a past sin. Chagum's only hope is Balsa, whose vow to save eight souls could be his redemption. In this volume, Shuga and Shaman Torogai are separated by their individual journeys, but they come to a surprisingly similar realization about Chagum. Meanwhile, the prince himself must decide which of his two lives he wants to continue to lead.
