Description
The Shelters Of Stone by Jean M. Auel is the fifth book in the bestselling Earth’s Children series, following Ayla and Jondalar as they complete their epic journey across prehistoric Europe. Upon arriving at the Ninth Cave of the Zelandonii, Ayla is fascinated by their customs, homes carved into towering limestone cliffs, and the spiritual guidance of the woman Zelandoni, a fellow healer with whom she can share her knowledge.
As Ayla and Jondalar prepare for the formal mating at the Summer Meeting, not all members of the Zelandonii welcome them. Some fear Ayla’s unfamiliar ways and her connections with the Clan, while others openly oppose her union with Jondalar. Ayla must rely on her intelligence, skills, and instincts to navigate this complex society, prepare for the birth of her child, and shape her own destiny.
Ideal for fans of historical fiction, prehistoric adventure, and richly detailed world-building, The Shelters Of Stone combines love, danger, and meticulous research into a sweeping, immersive story that continues the Earth’s Children saga.
