The hunters from the Roaring Bears’ tribe are away and when they return they find their camp invaded by the fierce Crow’s Claw warriors.

Their people are overpowered and held captive but one young person, Ekri, manages to escape with a guide Norak and they set off to seek help from their friends in other tribes.

With courage and deception, will they be able to outwit the notorious Crow’s Claw before it is too late and the Roaring Bears are destroyed?
