520			_aA lone hunter, vilie, sets out to find the river of his dreams: to wrest from its sleeping waters a stone that will give him untold power. It is a dangerous quest, for not only must he overcome unquiet spirits, vengeful soeceressess and daemons of the forest, there are men--armed with guns--on his trail. Easterine kire's novel transports the reader to the remote mountains of Nagaland, a place alive with natural wonder and supernatural enchantment. As vilie treks through the forest, we are also swept along in this powerful narrative and walk alongside him in a world where the spirits are every bit as real as men and women, and where danger--or salvation--lies at every turn. Kire's powerful narrative invites us into the lives and hearts of the people of Nagaland: the rituals and beliefs, their reverence for the land, their close-knit communities--the rhythms of a life lived in harmony with their natural surroundings. It is against this spellbinding backdrop that kire tells the story of a solitary man driven by the mysterious pull of a dream, who must overcome weretigers and malignant widow-spirits in the search for his heart's desire.
