The plot proceeds at a leisurely pace as the authors dwell on tribal ways, but Tani and her animal companions take on the Death by Night in an exciting climax that should leave fans eager for the next installment. Through her special understanding of animals, Tani gains the affections of a fierce, horse-like Duocorn, among other wondrous creatures.
Since Tani will one day become a Beast Master, she must overcome the prejudice instilled by her mother. Her Irish mother, however, had mistrusted such people and taught Tani to loathe them.
The Xik killed Tani's father, who as a Beast Master had an affinity with animals. Norton has many accolades to her name which she got through her successful writing career. She used to love writing novels based on romance and adventure genres as well. Her real name was Andre Alice Norton and she was born Alice Mary Norton. Despite physical differences, the Cheyenne and the Nitri share much in terms of custom, speech and tradition. Andre Norton was a noteworthy American writer of fantasy and science fiction genre. The Nitri accept 19-year-old Tani, the book's naïve, winsome heroine, because she's of Cheyenne Indian stock on her father's side. The human survivors have populated other planets, and their travels on the Ark have the dull regularity of a daily commute. Earth itself is now only a memory, a charred cinder in space destroyed by the ruthless Xik invaders. On the planet Arzor, Terrans must not only win over the indigenous Nitri but face a common enemy, the mysterious Death by Night, which leaves only skeletons behind, in this long-awaited addition to the Beast Master series from SF Grand Master Norton and New Zealander McConchie.
