Around 1150, the Chacoan world of great houses, roads, astronomers and long-distance trade is beginning to fracture. A dying ruler learns that his wife secretly bore a daughter fifteen years earlier and orders the unknown young woman killed before she can threaten his lineage.

Cornsilk escapes the destruction of her village with Poor Singer, a youth seeking contact with the Katsinas. As a killer follows them across the Southwest, their attempt to discover Cornsilk’s identity exposes the political fear, religious tension and internal violence accompanying the decline of Chacoan power.
