For three days battle has raged in the snow around the great city of Tar Valon. In the city, a Foretelling of the future is uttered. On the slopes of Dragonmount, the immense mountain that looms over the city, is born an infant prophesied to change the world. That child must be found before the forces of the Shadow have an opportunity to kill him.

From William Sarabande, whose brilliant  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.

Courageous, passionate men and women battle for survival of their clans--in the shadow of the great mammoth who speaks with thunder.... As the massive glaciers fade and the wide seas rise, the warm grasslands of the Americas bring prosperity to the gentle People of the Red World, followers of the Great Ghost Spirit, the White Mammoth.  But farther north, where the harsh dry winds howl, another nation, the People of the Watching Star, are enmeshed with legends of an evil shaman and the man-eating monster called the wanawut.  Relentlessly they have hunted the mammoth to near extinction.  Now, as raiders and ravagers they are coming south to invade the villages of the People of the Red World.  The only ones who can prevent the murder of innocents and the final slaughter  of the mammoth are a young boy shaman to whom the animals speak, a man whose strength equals his conviction, and a woman who hopes that, beyond violence and cruelty, humankind will recognize a stronger power--the force of love.
