Lyrical prose and spectacular paintings tell the dramatic story of Uncegila, an evil serpentlike creature who can be conquered only by shooting an arrow through her seventh spot. Brothers First-Twin and Blind-Twin journey to Ugly-Old-Woman, the shaman, for the magic arrows and advice that will help them make Uncegila's power their own.
