Eagles's father, Heads Off, leads the Elk-dog band by virtue of bringing to horse--the "elk-dog"--to the People. Eagle himself has mastered the ways of the horse, but now the warrior must learn survivor. His frightened, untrained mount, in panic in the hunt, has carried him far from his band, leaped from, a cliff, and smashed the hapless Eagle on the Rocks below. He faces a winter alone, without weapons or friends--and with a broken, useless leg. But then a strangle old man gives him shelter. Is he a demented outcast of the People? Or the legendary trickster, the mischievous Man of the Shadows? Whoever he is--he alone will determine Eagle's fate.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A book you can't put down and don't want it to end.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Man Of The Shadows (Spanish Bit #5) (Mass Market Paperback)
Man of the Shadow is a riviting book that you just don't want to end. The story of Eagle and his denial to fully accept the beliefs of the People is a wake up call for us all. There may be a Trickster out there waiting to fool us all. I thought Eagle and the Old Man were as unlikly to get along as the Head Splitters and the smell cat. It was amazing they wintered together and didn't come to blows. All in all it was a great book and I can't wait to read more of the Spainish Bit Saga.
