Guarded by snakes and guided by a sacred fire, Storm Rider, adopted son of the Many Waters People, masters the powerful Snakebite medicine, but his world is plunged into blackness by cannibals, who also threaten to kill his only hope of salvation. Love, hate, friendship, and unforgettable characters are interwoven as closely as one of old Cane Basket's watertight baskets in this anthropologically accurate story of American Indian cultures in conflict.
