This is an excellent story about the shaman of a tribe of forest dwellers and his son. Well written and engaging, the plot takes us on the shamman's journey to save his people from a sourcer who has ripped a hole in the veil that protects the foirest and their way of life from the plain dwellers on the other side. On the other side of the veil, the forest has been destroyed through ignorance and the sourcer sees the forest's timber as a way to riches. We see the shaman's spiritual relationship with the forest and the arrogance and spiritual poverty of the shaman who doesn't believe. The story looks at the issues of faith, cultural differences and the dire consequences of people's disregarding the importance of maintaining the balance of nature. All good messages for our world.
