Summary
His name is Grüdj. He was less than a year old when a wagon wheel crushed his head, and he was left in a shallow grave. His only possession linking him to the white world was a heavy iron bar made by a mysterious blacksmith. When the Plains Indians discovered the abandoned infant with his iron bar, they made him one of their own. He became a water-dreamer, but as he was coming of age, Grüdj committed sacrilege and was cast out of the village, just as the wagon train people had abandoned him. Grüdj set off for the high mountains, searching for a way to atone for his transgression, hoping to find the Old Gods and ask them to help The People. His vision quest is a journey marked by violence, mystery, and irresolvable conflicts between Grüdj and the water spirit, between Grüdj and the elements, and between Grüdj and an elfin woman named Luned
