Download or read book The Mammoth Hunters written by Jean M. Auel and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2002-06-25 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once again Jean M. Auel opens the door of a time long past to reveal an age of wonder and danger at the dawn of the modern human race. With all the consummate storytelling artistry and vivid authenticity she brought to The Clan of the Cave Bear and its sequel, The Valley of Horses, Jean M. Auel continues the breathtaking epic journey of the woman called Ayla. Riding Whinney with Jondalar, the man she loves, and followed by the mare’s colt, Ayla ventures into the land of the Mamutoi--the Mammoth Hunters. She has finally found the Others she has been seeking. Though Ayla must learn their different customs and language, she is adopted because of her remarkable hunting ability, singular healing skills, and uncanny fire-making technique. Bringing back the single pup of a lone wolf she has killed, Ayla shows the way she tames animals. She finds women friends and painful memories of the Clan she left behind, and meets Ranec, the dark-skinned, magnetic master carver of ivory, whom she cannot refuse--inciting Jondalar to a fierce jealousy that he tries to control by avoiding her. Unfamiliar with the ways of the Others, Ayla misunderstands, and thinking Jondalar no longer loves her, she turns more to Ranec. Throughout the icy winter the tension mounts, but warming weather will bring the great mammoth hunt and the mating rituals of the Summer Meeting, when Ayla must choose to remain with Ranec and the Mamutoi, or to follow Jondalar on a long journey into an unknown future.

Praise for the Earth’s Children® series “Auel is a highly imaginative writer. She humanizes prehistory and gives it immediacy and clarity.”—The New York Times Book Review “Storytelling in the grand tradition . . . From the violent panorama of spring on the steppes to musicians jamming on a mammoth-bone marimba, Auel’s books are a stunning example of world building. They join the short list of books, like James Clavell’s Shogun and Frank Herbert’s Dune, that depict exotic societies so vividly that readers almost regard them as ‘survival manuals.’ ”—Vogue “Jean Auel has established herself as one of our premier storytellers. . . . Her narrative skill is supreme.”—Chicago Tribune “Pure entertainment at its sublime, wholly exhilarating best.”—Los Angeles Times “Readers who fell in love with little Ayla will no doubt revel in her prehistoric womanhood.”—People “Lively and interesting, enhanced greatly by the vividly colored backdrop of early humanity . . . Auel is a prodigious researcher.”—The Washington Post Book World “Among modern epic spinners, Auel has few peers. . . . She deftly creates a whole world, giving a sense of the origins of class, ethnic, and cultural differences that alternately divide and fascinate us today.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Download or read book The Hammer of the Witches written by Willow Sears and published by Pink Flamingo Media. This book was released on with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval Europe is a hotbed of Catholic fervor. Hysteria over witches grows, and unscrupulous men use the threat of a burning to elicit sexual favors from vulnerable Fräuleins. Ayla is not a maid to meekly surrender to any man’s cunning lust, or to the flames. When her crimes could see her on the end of both, she is forced to take refuge in the remote manor of her once-love, Frix—a fine man before he was seduced and possessed by a sleep demon. Now he feeds off the souls of the witches he hides and they adore him for it. They surrender to him entirely, their reward carnal rapture. He can find his way into their dreams, so he knows exactly what dark desires they secretly yearn for and how to fulfil them.This demon wants Ayla more than all. Her energy is purer and he wants to empty her of it. Her strength is her ability to resist the enchantments of any incubus, and she resolves to free her once-love of the demon and win him back for good. Her weakness, however, is a hidden need to cede control to someone truly masterful, to have her rump laid bare and made scarlet at their hand. Though she fights her urges, the demon preys upon them, using all his wiles and the temptation of his lusty witch minions in his effort to defeat Ayla’s resistance. She cannot run, so she must drive the demon out before he can convince her the returns are worth the surrender to him. An external threat allows a chance to bargain for the return of her once-love, but Ayla must yield her own body to the demon. Can she find the will to resist him once she’s been given a true taste of her spank-hankerings? And can her sin-fearing, strait-laced true love ever fulfill her afterwards, even if she does win him back?
