Mesmerizing, dramatic, unsurpassed in scope and authenticity, this is the fourth exciting
volume of the magnificent new series THE FIRST AMERICANS, which began with Beyond the Sea of
Ice and continued with Corridor of Storms and Forbidden Land.
Following the trek of the woolly mammoth, the great hunter Torka leads a brave band of
survivors across the Arctic tundra. But his leadership is threatened from within by a deadly
rivalry between the handsome twins Umak and Manaravak for the love of a beautiful, sensual
girl, and from without by a mysterious creature called the wanawut, whose howling awakens
primitive and terrifying fears.
Now, as a firestorm races across the frost-brittle land, Torka and his faithful woman,
Lonit, must begin a dangerous odyssey to the home of the wind — a dark and forbidden region
from which no human has ever returned.
