A dos-a-dos style book, with two stories back to back that interweaves the two main characters. The two stories create a tale of isolation, transcendence, supernatural powers, and Love. Both human and ursine characters are loners with turbulent lives but a seemingly chance meeting brings lifelong friendship.
