About This Book

A prehistoric tribe faces internal tension when its chief and the chief hunter clash over tribal rights and the hunter's claim to a young maiden, exposing customs, rank, and the limits of authority. A sudden alarm near the camp leads the hunters to track unfamiliar, apelike Neanderthal figures feeding on meat, triggering a dangerous pursuit and violent confrontation. Narrative focus moves between ritual, leadership disputes, and brutal encounters with other humanlike beings, highlighting survival, social law, and the collision of different hominid groups in a harsh landscape.
