    About this ebook

    A curse is sharper than a flint blade
    The plains of Africa, 43,000 years BC - the dawn of human culture
    Death stalks the hunting grounds. Enemies surround the Koriba. Some fight with spears and flint blades, others with poison, curses and betrayal.
    Can the young hunter Temfe unite the tribes and lead them across the desert? Can he save his father, chief of the Koriba, poisoned and dying, his spirit lost in shadow?
    And should he trust Yorodjan, the scarred, one-eyed seer who worships the death birds? Who flies as a vulture in the other-worlds?
    A power struggle will determine the future of the Koriba. To save his tribe, Temfe must learn the ways of the shaman, cross into the vision-worlds, defend the ancestors and unmask a murderer who wields malign power.
    A prehistoric adventure for adults and young adults alike.
    Book two of the series “A Tribal Song - Tales of the Koriba.”
