At a time when volcanoes were being born in what is now New Mexico,
clans of hunter-gatherers were already living in the Great Plains.
Primordial beasts roamed the land: creatures like the giant sloth,
the flat-faced bear, the woolly mammoth, and the dire wolf hunted
there, often coming into conflict with their two-legged prey.
When Do-na-ti reaches adulthood, he slays the badger for his
ceremonial cloak. By wedding E-lo-ni, he unites their clans.
Together they must face battle with dire wolves, a stampede of
mammoths that destroys their lodge, and the birth of a new volcano,
fulfilling an old woman's prophecy and Do-na-ti's conviction that
his son must become brother to the mountain.
"Mayhar has a way of drawing the reader seamlessly into her
historical narratives. You can smell the breath of the dire wolf as
it closes in for the kill " -- Robert Reginald
