Summary
In a time before time at the top of the world, in a harsh and unforgiving age of ice, courage will sustain three remarkable souls through trials as bitter as the chill winds of the eternal winter.
Claimed by a brutal, despised enemy, Kiin must sacrifice her love for the sake of her tribe and the safety of her children. Left widowed and helpless among the Whale Hunters, Kukutux now faces the impossible challenge of surviving alone. While Samiq, wounded and a hunter no more, must take up the mantle of leadership and guide a devastated people abandoned by their gods.
At the dawn of humanity, their extraordinary destinies intertwine. And through hardship and adventure, they endure, confronting the cruelty of man, fate and nature with the indomitable strength of heart and spirit.

Beautiful story, terrible narration!
Kiin is awoken by the anguished voice of her spirit screaming "as shrill as an oyster catcher's cry" as she mourns the cold blooded murder of her husband Amgigh. The text directions are very clear. But they are totally ignored by the narrator as she recites in a flat monotone, "Amgigh, Amgigh" .After killing her husband, the Walrus Hunter, Raven, has taken Kiin away from her tribe, her baby and her true love, and her spirit is screaming. She is mourning, she is in agony. and yet Holly Fielding sees fit to merely continue in her usual flat, emotionless voice. She insults this wonderful story with her monotone delivery. it is a story full of emotional highs and lows as it tells of the incredible sacrifice Kiin makes to save her tribe from the cold blooded hunter, Raven, and the trials and tribulations of many tribes.
All the characters have the same voice. She cuts sentences in half where there is no comma or full stop, and confusingly continues different paragraphs that describe different tines and places in a single flow.
Her voice is also unpleasant to listen to in other ways - nasal, with a blocked nose, and (to my English ears) sloppy, her strong American accent mangling the words. Water is "wadder", mountain is "moun'n". I know this is just an accent, but added to all the other irritations it just helped ruin my favourite story in yet another way.
Holly also mispronounces or decides on several different pronunciations of many of the Aleut words and names - most notably (and irritatingly) Kiin's name!!! It clearly states in the text of the paperback version (which I have) that Kiin's name is pronounced "keen" — NOT "ki-in"! She also mispronounces several commonly used words still in use today, the most annoying being "cache", a word used several times in every chapter, which is repeatedly pronounced "cashay" instead of "cash". This drove me demented! Every time she said "cashay" I was muttering through gritted teeth "CASH, it's CASH, woman!!"

Disappointing end
Without giving the story away . …..
The irritating narrator and questionable pronunciation of words spoiled what should be an exciting book. The plot was a simple, stupid and repetitive…..quite “Novella”.
