Little ever happens in the quiet villages of peaceful Feierabiand. The course of Kes' life seems set: she'll grow up to be an herb-woman and healer for the village of Minas Ford, never quite fitting in but always more or less accepted.

But what the griffins need is a healer who is not quite human . . . or a healer who can be made into something not quite human.
