''Kira saw that she was surrounded by hostile women who had
come from their cotts and were watching Vandara for instructions
and leadership. Several, she noticed, had rocks in their hands. If
one rock were thrown, others would follow, she knew. They were all
waiting for the first...'' When Kira is summoned to judgement by the
Council of the Guardians to resolve a village conflict, Kira knows
she is fighting for her life. In this challenging vision of the
future, society is not technoogically advanced, and is tough and
unforgiving, with every member having to prove their place. Kira
has a withered leg and up till now has had her mother to protect
her. With her mother gone, Kira will need to use every ounce of
cunning, wit and bravery to ensure her continued acceptance - and
even survival. A compelling, thought-provoking vision of a future
society from an award-winning author.
