Laaki and Ashóli are skin-singers--byal-dónen--who can craft cloaks of fur and feathers to let their people wear the shapes of beasts. These are the stories of how they traveled through an often-hostile world and came at last to find a home where their people could gather, then thrive in safety. The tales of these people--the Kaltaoven--originally appeared in the Sword and Sorceress anthology series. Now for the first time they are collected together, finished off with a brand new novelette. The stories have been lightly edited from their original versions for continuity purposes.
