In the waning days of Spanish colonization, a family of Czech colonists is slain in the Piney Woods of East Texas. Only their infant son survives, rescued and raised by a mother red wolf as the feral boy, Rao-Bak. When Rao-Bak rescues a Neche princess from her captors, he finds himself caught at the nexus of a vast conflict between warring tribes and colonial powers vying for a stake in the New World.

Fereya has proven his mettle against many foes, be they man, beast, or blasphemous sorcerer. Yet where mind and mettle fail is in a world where nothing is real, and everything is real; where the only adversary is your own mind, and where mind becomes matter; where dreams become flesh, and the greatest peril is to your soul. Now Fereya must navigate the world of dreams to rescue Mirsa and face a fiend who can bend reality to his will.

When a storm drives Mirsa and her mute guardian Fereya into the hut of a mad hermitess on the darksome moors of Thurinvale, they learn of a mysterious race of moon-eyed ghouls called the lunoculen. These grave-dwelling eaters of both the dead and the living prowl the moors at night in search of unwary travelers to feast on their flesh. Yet, when circumstances cast our heroes into the dangerous path of the lunoculen, they learn the secret of their past may hold more horror than even their cannibal appetites.
