The Edge of the World

The First Americans #7

by William Sarabande

From William Sarabande, whose brilliant  re-creation of the prehistoric world of the First American  has thrilled readers everywhere, comes a major new  novel that awakens us to the true spirit of our  ancestors. Following their destiny into an unknown  land took more than courage--it demanded a belief  in a future they would never see, a certainty that  braving a path no human had ever taken was their  only choice. Now, in a time of mystery and magic,  when all they had protected the People from their  enemies for the eons of prehistory seemed to be  vanishing along with the animals they once hunted,  the young shaman Cha-kwena must break a terrifying  taboo, estranging him from his woman and his  tribe. Driven by a vision, he vows to follow the  forbidden trail of the mammoth to where the fate of his  kind will be extinction or the possibility  of a land where all their dreams may become real.

Some parts are pretty gruesome again. Liked the last book in this series better. Some deaths are just not neccesary. Untill now I disliked the cruel parts in book 2, 4, 6, 8... so part 9 is promising again ;-) haha

The shaman Chakwena is folling his totem, his band is in disaray and the tribes of the land continue to fight. The story continues...
