Main Characters

Daniel

A brilliant ego reinforced by true genius ability.  As visitor in a new culture, he can no longer rely on his cavalier charm to avoid the dangers of emotional commitment.  Although he feels totally in control of his future, he is soon overcome by events that elevate him into higher roles of responsibility that require levels of commitment he never imagined.  His true journey begins when he is accepted into the Grotto Clan and becomes Danon, the Provider.  His challenge soon lies in becoming the leader that Lauriel believes in.

Lauriel

Ruggedly beautiful, athletic, and strong-willed.  She travels her own path and rejects most of the superstitious beliefs of her people, relying on what she can see and touch.  She also desires to become more than just the daughter of a clan leader.  Her role in the tribal society is firmly established by a century of tradition.  The mantle of the Shawl, symbol of leadership, will go to her husband – usually the lead warrior.

May’r Nathon

Noble leader of the mixed clan of O’kee, Manchee, and Soux survivors of the great holocaust.  He wears the Shawl, and its burden, with the courage of a warrior's spirit.  Like many of the elders, his hope for deliverance of his people lies in the cryptic fragment - the prophesy - that foretells the arrival of a Supreme May’r who will unite all the clans and gain social freedom from the Perfs.
