The Dry Lands (#1) A stone age tribe faces extinction
Isolated by a changing climate, hemmed in by an arid wasteland, a band of prehistoric humans faces extinction.
There are too many mouths to feed – the tribes have grown too big. They’ve hunted too fiercely, and the animals are gone. The waterholes are dry, the rains don’t come. Their world has changed, and they need a way out.
As the young men of the tribe go in search of a new home, Temfe, the chief’s son, must learn to lead his clansmen, before they betray him.
To survive in a harsh world, surrounded by enemies, he must gather new allies, discover new weapons and learn new ways of seeing the world.
In the African rift valley, 43,000 years BCE, a spark of consciousness flares into life. The dawn of human culture, the fire that will reshape the world.
In the Rattle of the Shaman’s Bones (#2) The plains of Africa, 43,000 years BC – the dawn of human culture
Death stalks the hunting grounds, striking at the elders, the leaders and the wise ones.
A power struggle will determine the future of the Koriba. Can Temfe, the chief’s son, unite the tribes? Can he lead them across the desert? And save his father, poisoned and dying, his spirit lost in shadow?
Should he trust Yorodjan, the scarred, one-eyed seer who worships the death birds? Who flies as a vulture in the other-worlds?
Enemies surround Temfe. Some fight with spears and flint blades. Others with poison, curses and betrayal. All of them determined to control his tribe, to seize its lands, destroy its people.
To save the Koriba, Temfe must learn the ways of the shaman, cross into the vision-worlds, defend the ancestors and defeat a murderer who wields malign power.
The Fire Within (#3) A monster stalks the riverbanks, killing without mercy
In the heart of Africa, 43,000 years BCE, the Koriba begin their long trek north. The young chief Temfe follows the route taken by his allies from the Baroni tribe. But news reaches them of a fierce people that lives beside the river. Monsters, the stories say, men like beasts who slaughter any that cross their lands.
The riverbank holds secrets: signs of a massacre. Dead bodies litter the ground. Survivors confirm Temfe’s worst fears: Tchigun, the cruel leader of the savage Gomneen tribe, has slaughtered and enslaved the Baroni and seized the beautiful Hara as his own.
To rescue Hara and save his friends Temfe must fight alone. Only cunning can free them.
But there are greater dangers than flint blades and spears. As hunger for revenge burns his heart, can Temfe let go of hate? Can he hold to his true self – and defeat the monster that shadows him, closer than his own breath?
Ancient Quarrel (#4) In Eastern Africa, 42,000 BCE, the Koriba make camp on the banks of the mighty river. A guarded and inward-looking tribe blocks their progress. The Peult shun strangers, allowing no one to cross their territory.
The young chief Temfe sets out to negotiate safe passage, taking with him only his trusted friend and ally, the impetuous, handsome warrior Arom.
As Temfe pleads his case to the elders, Arom’s eyes search the crowd and rest on Lajula, most beautiful woman of the ancient world.
He stares at her, infatuated.
She gazes at him, entranced.
But their love is forbidden by the rules of her tribe. Duty holds her back. Loyalty calls him away.
Kadi, chief of the Peult, rebukes his daughter, rebuffs Temfe’s request and orders the Koriba to leave, never to return.
Tribal allegiance drives Arom and Lajula apart. But love is wilder than a father’s rage, stronger than the laws of men, sweeter than safety and sharper than a mother’s tears.
A timeless love story set in the stone age – ideal for fans of romance, historical fiction, action, adventure and tales of the ancient world.
