Used book – The Children of Earth, Volume 5: The Shelters of Stone, Jean-Marie Auel, Jacques Martinache

In this fifth installment of the prehistoric saga "The Children of Earth," Ayla gives birth to a long-awaited child and realizes the role she is destined to play in the fate of the Zelandonii, Jondalar's tribe.

After a long, epic journey across Europe, Ayla and Jondalar arrive at the site of the Ninth Cave, a Stone Age camp located in what would much later be called the Périgord region. It is there that Jondalar is reunited with the tribe he was born into, who rejoice at his return.

Ayla's reception is more mixed. This woman speaks with a curious accent and, above all, she is followed by a wolf and two horses over which she wields a disturbing power. But if the young woman astonishes the Zelandonii, they surprise her just as much with their way of life in their comfortable rock shelters and the splendor of the paintings with which they adorn their caves. Plunged into this foreign universe, will Ayla manage to win the trust of Jondalar's tribe members?
