Contining from where Julie Of The Wolves left off, the middle part of the trilogy begins with the young woman's return to her father's home in Kangik, Alaska. As she becomes reacquainted with Kapugen, she tries to accept the fact that he killed her beloved wolf Amaroq. She must also come to terms with her father's abandonment of some traditional Eskimo ways in order to help the local population survive, his new wife (a white woman), and a new romantic interest of her own. Julie Edwards (a. k. a. Miyax Kapugen) no longer a loner; she, too, learns about being a part of a community, one that is struggling to exist in a difficult and changing environment. But she also vows to protect the surviving wolves and move them to a place where they will not threaten her father's herd of musk-oxen. This book has less sexual content than in the first and I was not surprised by how graphic it was - basically Julie met a man named Peter Sugluk. In fact, the previous book had more. Overall, a mediocre read and nowhere as good as the first.
