About this ebook
Filled with the lyrical beauty of a now-vanished world, this magnificent novel unfolds during the last great ice age, amid the mist-shrouded mountains of the Pyrenees in prehistoric France. When tainted spring water fatally poisons the women of the tribe of the Horse, the clan’s young men set forth to kidnap new women from the matriarchal tribe of the Red Deer—a quest that must succeed or their people will die out. Golden-haired Mar, the leader of the young men, falls in love with the beautiful Alin, daughter of the Red Deer priestess. And though they are born to embrace different traditions, raised to worship different gods, Mar will fight to claim this strangely powerful woman as his own. Against a lush backdrop of ancient magic, mammoth hunts, and secret rites, this mesmerizing novel brings to life the ritual and adventure of a primeval world and tells a timeless tale of conflict between two societies…two beliefs…two sexes…and two people.

I'm an avid reader of prehistoric fiction. Many times i have become bored with stories, or have the ability to guess correctly the outcome, thus rendering the read less satisfying ,less exciting. Not so with this book by author Joan Wolf! I was actually not prepared to find I had come to the last page! Most reads, I give up far before the halfway mark. In essence, it was a finely crafted story...and I thoroughly enjoyed every page!
