Shortlisted for the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel (1981).

Many eons ago a humanoid race with supernatural powers roamed the North American continent. But when vast hordes of Indians migrated across the Bering Strait land bridge the Shonokins soon became a defeated people. The few remaining Shonokins were able to survive and evolve into an all male race with man-like features except for cat-like eyes and an elongated third finger. In a small Southern mountain town, the Shonokins have resurfaced and are led by Brooke Altic, a recognized leading citizen. Altic is interested in recruiting Silver John, a young mountain man whom he meets at a local music festival. John and an old grizzly mountain farmer and his pretty daughter Callie Gray all get caught up in the Shonokin's effort to enlist John for their revolutionary plot.
