From publisher blurb: While often seen as strange and even dangerous by the standards of Wyrmbringer tribes, no one denies the Uktena have forgotten more mystic secrets than the rest of the nation has ever known. While their peculiar obsessions with lore and knowledge causes many to regard them as scholars, the tribe has no scruples about using any and all weapons when it has decided to go to war. Though originally descended from the first peoples of the American continent, Older Brother opened their arms to take in those who had nowhere else to turn. While many of the continent’s indigenous peoples still count themselves among the Uktena, others are the descendants of the slave trade, the children of imperial conquests, and refugees who have fled wars and wickedness to try to make a new life. Another thing they share, though, is a willingness to look at problems with fresh eyes, and to consider solutions others wouldn’t think of… or that they would be too afraid to try.
