"A powerful and passionate saga of human history" - cover.

In this latest novel of Geodyssey, Anthony introduces a new cast of characters, including the Keeper, who knows the way of nature; Rebel, a headstrong girl; Craft, a cunning inventor; and Crenelle, who uses her seductive charms to defend her people.

The saga begins in the mists of time, more than a hundred thousand years ago in the Rift Valley of Africa, the birthplace of mankind. Sparse rain and dry winds have driven those few earliest humans out of that early paradise in search of sustenance. Here, one remarkable tribe will play a crucial role in the history of our kind. The leader of this band, known only as Hero, is young, strong, and courageous. But their lives are changed forever when they encounter another group in a small settlement beside the trail.
