The Third People

What if they've always been there, hiding in the dark, waiting? 

A new group threatens the territory of young Jori’s tribe, but it is not the band of second peoples they track to the river. It is the mysterious third people, Jori learns, who dwell in the land of the night, that they must fear. 

Now, Jori’s father tells him, they must hack the stone tips from their spears, sharpen their points, and prepare to fight for their survival.
