Lynn Andrews continues her journey where Medicine Woman left off, as she renews her apprenticeship to Native-American shaman, Agnes Whistling Elk. Andrews has only just been initiated into the Sisterhood of the Shields, a secret society of women, but here she begins to understand the true meaning of the Sisterhood's power to transform. Through the creation of her own shield-both a physical and spiritual tool-she comes to know the full ancient power of women, as well as her own spiritual path. This seminal work will be read and reread by generations to come.
