The spirit of our First American ancestors comes vividly to life in
a magnificent new novel from William Sarabande, whose masterful portrayals
of our continent in prehistoric times have made his books national
bestsellers.
Ravaged by tribal fighting, cursed by their enemies, abandoned by
their sacred spirits, the People wander, hungry and desperate, across a
frozen and forbidden land. The leader who guided them, the vision that
inspired them, the magic that moved them--all have vanished from their
midst.
Far away, across a sea of ice, alone and desolate, the young shaman
Cha-kwena must make a fateful choice. While he yearns to return to his
loved ones, he is sworn to protect the sacred herd of mammoth, the last of
their kind. The path he now takes will determine the future of his race:
whether they will perish in savage conflict or flourish in a new age of
bounty and hope.
