Nishko, the son of a Great Plains chief before European contact, seeks to complete his rite of passage by taming a painted pony. As his tribe is attacked by a neighboring group breaking a treaty, he must rescue kidnapped women, retrieve his ill pony behind enemy lines, tend his mother’s coma, face a medicine man’s demand for sacrifice, survive cougar and wolf assaults, and endure a woodland injury. His bravery and quick thinking draw help from an unexpected source.
