An interesting story about a boy who decides he wants to heal and help and what he has to do to fulfil that wish.

Gabriel saw an attack on a helpless Shinali woman, the tribe his people are supressing, have invaded. This has stayed with him all his life. She gives him a bone, this bone reminds him of her and gives him strange visions.

When he has an opportunity to meet with some Shinali he finds that things aren't as straightforward as he may have been lead to think.

There are moments where it's a little obvious but it's a good read. ( )
