The usual pass has been blocked by the Shadow and they are forced to climb a more dangerous one. As it is winter, there is an avalanche and Kaththea is buried. She is later 'rescued' by a tribesman, but he is violent and, it appears, set on turning Kaththea into his personal sex slave on his return to the nomadic tribe to whom he belongs. Only the intervention of their wise woman saves her, but the woman is of the Old Race like Kaththea and is now nearing the end of her long life. She wants Kaththea to take her place and trains her to that end, but does not restore her foreseeing ability, which was worse affected when she paid the penalty for following Dinzil. She also ensures Kaththea's reluctant presence by imbuing a mat that Kaththea crossed to enter her tent with a spell to prevent her from travelling far from the tribe. Kaththea must use unflinching stoicism to overcome that spell and try to escape - and when she does, she finds that her lack of foreseeing ability and reliance on a mechanical aid has not served the tribe well.
In the rest of the story she ends up going through a gate to another world, created by one of the adepts whose pursuit of knowledge for its own sake led to the Shadow becoming dominant, and she becomes embroiled in a centuries-long war between two cultures which have now sunk to a demeaned and dehumanised state,
There was a lot to enjoy in this re-read which suffered only because of the rushed ending.
