Publisher's Synopsis
A shamanic power struggle will decide the future of the Koriba
On the plains of Africa, 43,000 years BCE, enemies surround Temfe of the Koriba. 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 and destroy its people.
As death stalks the hunting grounds, striking at the elders, the leaders and the wise ones, can Temfe unite the tribes and lead them across the desert? Can he save his father, poisoned and dying, his spirit lost in shadow?
Should he trust Yorodjan, the disfigured, one-eyed seer who worships the death birds and who flies as a vulture in the other-worlds?
To save the Koriba, Temfe must learn the ways of the shaman, walk the vision-worlds, defend the ancestors and defeat a murderer who wields malign power.
