Jake Kilgore was defending the son of the territory's richest and most powerful man. The charge – MURDER!<P> McCandless crossed the cell.<P> "It was bad enough that you brought that girl out there," he cried. «But to give her your mother’s ring! The Lucero ring! Harry, why? Why? The Lucero blood goes back for three hundred years in this land. Is this what it comes down to? This cell, the gallows out in the yard? Is this the end of the McCandless line?»<P> He groaned and turned to Kilgore with fierce eyes of hatred. «Stop 'em, Kilgore! Stop ’em or I will! If they touch one hair of my boy’s head, I’ll kill 'em – the whole pack! There was blood once in this land. Blood will run again! I swear it on my soul, on my hope for redemption.»

At a time when volcanoes were being born in what is now New Mexico, clans of hunter-gatherers were already living in the Great Plains. Primordial beasts roamed the land: creatures like the giant sloth, the flat-faced bear, the woolly mammoth, and the dire wolf hunted there, often coming into conflict with their two-legged prey.<P> When Do-na-ti reaches adulthood, he slays the badger for his ceremonial cloak. By wedding E-lo-ni, he unites their clans. Together they must face battle with dire wolves, a stampede of mammoths that destroys their lodge, and the birth of a new volcano, fulfilling an old woman's prophecy and Do-na-ti's conviction that his son must become brother to the mountain.<P> "Mayhar has a way of drawing the reader seamlessly into her historical narratives. You can smell the breath of the dire wolf as it closes in for the kill!" – Robert Reginald
