re-creation of the prehistoric world of the First American
has thrilled readers everywhere, comes a major new
novel that awakens us to the true spirit of our
ancestors. Following their destiny into an unknown
land took more than courage--it demanded a belief
in a future they would never see, a certainty that
braving a path no human had ever taken was their
only choice. Now, in a time of mystery and magic,
when all they had protected the People from their
enemies for the eons of prehistory seemed to be
vanishing along with the animals they once hunted,
the young shaman Cha-kwena must break a terrifying
taboo, estranging him from his woman and his
tribe. Driven by a vision, he vows to follow the
forbidden trail of the mammoth to where the fate of his
kind will be known: extinction or the possibility
of a land where all their dreams may become real.
