Flight of the Shaman is a tale of two continents; the New World of the Incas, and the role of the Europeans in subjugating that society for gold. The time frame is also juxtaposed - from that of the Elizabethan age - to that of the first half of the last century.
The heroes of the work are a young boy and his grandad, it is they who seek to help a young Inca princess escape the evil Shaman.
