Jonathan Dark Wolf Cameron finds himself in the drunk tank again after a dreadful nightmare full of blood and screams of agony, and Dark Wolf, his spirit guide, asking him why he should not be driven into the wilderness as an outcast. Aware that is all he deserves, he soon discovers that what one deserves is not necessarily what one needs, as he is rescued by Melissa Silver Fox and her family to join them in Starfield Valley, where he may find healing of the cankers in his soul. But only if he can bring Jack Pittman and Daniel Delacroix beneath the sword to resolve their own dreadful conflict and find healing of their own hurts.
