{"product_id":"hunters-of-the-plains-by-ardath-mayhar-paperback","title":"Hunters of the Plains, by Ardath Mayhar (Paperback)","description":"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.\n\u003cp\u003e\nWhen 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. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\"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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wildside Press LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43184931602641,"sku":"9781434401984","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5981\/5377\/files\/9781434401984_FC.jpg?v=1784117007","url":"https:\/\/startlingstories.us\/products\/hunters-of-the-plains-by-ardath-mayhar-paperback","provider":"Startling Stories","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
