Tsuga’s Children is a story of adventure, and of the knowledge of death and survival in an environment whose outer world is almost as dangerous as its inner one. It is a celebration of the old-fashioned virtues of bravery, kindness and honor in an implacable landscape–yet one not wholly indifferent, because it has sustained human beings for as long as our spirits have merged with it. It is a story of ambition, and of the demands and rewards of power.
