Ray was born at a time of prosperity for the Wind Tribe. There was no shortage of game in the wastelands, peace reigned with the neighbors, the tunnellers and beaters, sparing no effort, took care of their fellow tribesmen. And no one expected a Rift to arise between them, which was destined to pass through the heart of the future Star Ray. With his decision to choose the fate of the beater, young Tallpaw not only destroys the hopes of his father Sandstone, but also awakens a long-standing conflict among his fellow tribesmen. A gap grows between father and son, which both cannot cross. The death of his father in a landslide crosses out Tallpaw's previous life and alienates him from the tribe. How to find your way in life when the earth disappears from under your paws and the stars do not give an answer? Can revenge become destiny? This is up to Tallpaw, who is on the verge of making a choice, to find out. “The Rift” is the first book in the special volume-dulogy “Revenge of the Star Beam.”
