The Wolfriders are still searching for their new holt, but while taking a break from that Ember asks Pike for a new howl. A howl she has never heard before, Ember is curious about recognition. Pike proceeds to Howl the tale of Hummer and Buckthorn, two young Wolfriders who grow up in rivalry. Everything they do turns into a competition, this goes on until they one day recognize. They recognize during a staring competition, which has lasted for days. Hummer and Buckthorn live on as soul mates and love mates, and they get two recognized children.

Back on their wolf friends' backs, the Wolfriders are yet again hunting for their new holt. After almost starving yet again, they arrive at Howling Rock.

Pike has for the last several days been hiding an animal friend, and not just any animal friend. It's the offspring of the tuftcat the tribe killed in the last episode. While holding a council to decide if the cub gets to stay or not, some Wolfriders start to hallucinate after they get stung by insects. Moonshade thinks she sees her daughter Cresent, so she is having a heart-to-heart with her. Ember uses this situation to her advantage to find out what's on Moonshades mind. In the end, when everyone is back to their sane minds Timmain approves of the cub and it gets to stay.

It is not safe to stay around insects that make them hallucinate unless they have been eating dreamberries so the Wolfriders are on the move again. In front of them is a land with little prey. While the Wolfriders are starving it seems like the wolfs are finding food for themselves. Turns out the ground is full of mice, and it's time to hunt some small predators. The hunt is successful and finally, the Wolfriders can feel the sensation of some full stomachs yet again.

Ember, the blood of eleven chiefs, is starting her journey as a chiefstess. It is hard for a young cub to find her place and style as a leader. Especially when she is one of the youngest in the tribe, and the elders are challenging her every move. Ember has to learn to lead, to count on her tribemates, and to play on all their strengths. Redlance can grow them a safe space to sleep for the night, and Monshade is a strong huntress.

In the new forest, Ember can feel traces of dark magic. Magic that originates from the black snake. One of her creations is attacking the Wolfriders. They have to be quick, and can they beat this monster the same way they did Madcoil? or do they need to cum up with a new plan? This is the first of Winnowills monsters the Wolfriders meet, but it will not be the last. Leetah's pep talk to Ember at the end of the issue is well-needed for some motivation for what lies ahead.

Shuna has managed to gather some men to start a rebellion, but some of them are getting skeptical of her intentions when they realize she is a girl. Luckily for Shuna and the elves, she manages to convince them, and the rebellion is a fact.

A fight that started because Flam could not resist the smell of gold. Venka can no longer resist the urge to send for her dad. And Winnowill is finally shoving her true skin to the guards.
