In an era when Stone Age tribes share the world with the earliest civilizations, a young nomadic hunter accidentally brings doom upon his people, and a curse upon himself. Seeking to lift the curse, he and a few other survivors must leave the forest and journey to the greatest city of all, where they face strange new dangers, mazes of conspiracy and deception, and many puzzling breeds of savage. Rebecca Bradley, author of the Gil Trilogy and The Lateral Truth, brings both her fantasy chops and her archaeological experience to this intriguing tale of the ancient world.
