Kings in Exile

Two old Dacotah sachems gaze through a steel fence at a buffalo and name him Last Bull. Then a strange moose arrives, and the buffalo’s sullen eyes kindle at the sight of a rival across the barrier.

In a zoological park on a bright October day, Last Bull rules a small herd in a green pasture—protected, well fed, and cut off from the wild that shaped his vanished kind. The newcomer, a great bull moose from New Brunswick, expects forests and freedom; instead, he finds a fence, a restless herd, and a challenge from the shaggy monarch next door. Their horns and antlers clash against the steel mesh, and one wound is enough to turn a wary contest into blind fury. The barrier can keep the rivals apart—but can it keep either beast safe from the other?
