An epic adventure of Ice Age mammoth hunters who survived on the ancient Bering Sea land bridge called Beringia.
Nearly 15,000 years ago, a daring young Mammoth Hunter named Harjo sets out on a life-changing journey across the now inundated ancient land bridge that once interconnected Alaska and Siberia called Beringia. He is bound for the land of the Sea Mammal Hunting people on the coast of the Bering Sea. There he encounters a beautiful, mysterious servant girl named Onna, the likes that no one had ever seen before or imagined existed. She was taken captive from an unknown land far to the west across the great massive glaciers that all believed were impassable.
Together they began an incredible adventure to return to Harjo's people and his river valley homeland within interior Beringia. The sage continues and tells the story of their lifelong relationship through many wondrous escapades, harsh desperate struggles, and intimate romance within the backdrop of the lost land of Beringia—a wondrous world that was once bursting with breathing taking sights and sounds and teeming with astonishing exotic animals but equally an unforgiving perilous environment. Harjo's people, the Mammoth Hunters, and other prehistoric inhabitants of Beringia are destined to be the ancient ancestors of all Native peoples of North and South America.
