Description
The glaciers of the Sierra Nevada are melting, destroying the habitat of the mastodons, creating the rich land that will become California. The coastal people struggle to understand the changing world around them: their seer Sunchaser has lost his way to the Spirit World and mammoths continue to disappear. When a beautiful woman arrives, fleeing from her abusive husband, the people know what they must do--for if the Spirits are already taking the animals away, what will happen if they show more shelter a stranger? Now Sunchaser must make a choice--between the woman he loves and the preservation of his people's world.

The weather was warming, the water was rising.
They had not seen the sacred Mammoth for months - they needed their DreamDancer to lead the sacred Mammoth Dance to help their spirit helper survive.
But SunChaser had not been seen for months and a local shaman felt HE should be the DreamDancer... or maybe a shapeshifter.
