About This Book

A solitary mountain huntsman protects the monastery's valued wild herds, patrolling steep alpine terrain through thunderous thaw and storm and confronting poachers who seek deer and ibex for lucrative medicinal parts; vivid nature passages describe avalanches, melting snows, and roaring spring streams, while episodic scenes trace his daily vigilance, inventive survival routines, the monastery's stewardship, local conflicts over game, and the personal toll of defending fragile mountain life.
