Song Of The Axe

'Song Of The Axe' is the spellbinding story of two prehistoric lovers, Agon and Eena, their struggles and triumphs, and their sons.

Agon is a great warrior, a master of the deadly axe song, the mystical music made by his weapon. Eena, beloved of Mother Earth, can cast a spear better than anyone alive. They fall in love by the banks of a huge, glacier-fed river at a time near the end of the Ice Age.

But an invading tribe led by the evil shaman, Ka, destroys their tribe and kidnaps Eena. Agon must cross the river and rescue her, against great odds.

They marry, and found a new family in a faraway land. But the children of Ka live, and seek vengeance on the sons of Axe Man and Spear Woman.

In the tradition of 'Clan Of The Cave Bear', 'Song Of The Axe' draws on the findings of archaeology to create a dramatic and historically accurate tale of the early days of mankind, a tale of awesome beauty and power. It offers a vast and colourful landscape peopled by our ancestors of thirty thousand years ago, the Cro-Magnons, and provocatively illuminates the origin of myth in historical events.
