This fascinating saga of the cruel and beautiful ancient world brought its author Jean M. Auel worldwide fame and became one of the most widely read literary works of our time. The books included in the “Children of the Earth” series have been published in multi-million copies in many countries around the world. Expelled from the clan, Eila goes far to the north in search of a new refuge. During this long journey, the young woman faces all sorts of dangers from all sides. She has to swim across wide, stormy rivers and narrowly escapes death when she stumbles upon a pride of cave lions. Finally she finds a suitable cave in a valley where wild horses graze. It is unbearably difficult for her here, completely alone, without people, separated from her son, whom the ruthless leader took from her. And ahead of her lies the next test - a meeting with representatives of the Others. Fate brings her together with Jondalar, who, together with his brother, made a long journey across Europe. Eila's life changes dramatically again...
