People of the Earth
The towering saga of prehistoric North America begun in People of the Wolf and People of the Fire continues in this powerful new best seller - the gripping tale of a young woman with the gift of prophecy, destined to lead her people to a new way of life.
Kidnapped from the Earth People as a child, White Ash learns the way of the Sun People as she grows into a beautiful woman. But the disturbing dreams that made her an outcast in her old tribe are becoming stronger, and they foretell a frightening future of bitter cold, war and famine.
When a hostile tribe massacres her adopted family, White Ash is raped and left near death, but is miraculously saved by a brave shaman... and falls in love with him.
Together they set out on a dangerous journey to steal a magical object - but they soon face a ruthless enemy who wants White Ash for his own.
