About This Book

A tale set in a prehistoric forest follows cave-dwelling peoples and their encounters with predators, rival bands, and elemental powers. It centers on Ru, known as the Sparrow-Hearted, and the growling wolf Grumgra as hunts, fires, and a perilous migration test group loyalties. Encounters with ancestral gods of fire, wind, and river intertwine with treachery and the rise of Beast-Men to escalate conflict. A mysterious enchanted staff alters leadership and destiny, culminating in Ru's trials, transformation into an eagle-hearted figure, and the community's final resolution.
