YOUR BOOK DESCRIPTION (200 WORDS MAXIMUM) At the end of the Ice Age, megamammals such as mammoths, giant sloths, and steppe bison are dying out. Two young lovers, Roxor and Xoxa, have been banished by their respective clans. As the outcasts, accompanied by two trusty dogs, make their way across the North American wilderness in search of more plentiful game, it's a dangerous journey-especially for the pregnant Xoxa. Successful at hunting caribou, Roxor and Xoxa are set for the winter when two of Roxor's friends stumble upon their camp. Soon, they are bringing their women and forming a new band led by Roxor. After spending time with the Taigan people at the edges of the Rocky Mountains, the band eventually continues south and slowly adapts to life on the High Plains and along the Mississippi River. Developing new weapons and skills, they'll become known as the Clovis culture. All along the way, their journey is fraught with peril. Unknown species in the new lands present unexpected challenges. And the bands that exiled Roxor and Xoxa have joined forces and are following in their footsteps. Action, adventure, and passion drive this riveting conclusion to the American Odyssey saga. YOUR BACK COVER TEXT (150 WORDS MAXIMUM) In the final volume of the American Odyssey series, Ice Age hunters Roxor and Xoxa continue their perilous journey from their northern homelands to the shores of the ancestral Mississippi River and the surrounding High Plains. Stalked by his half-brother, Badur, for stealing his betrothed, Roxor becomes the leader of a new band when two friends bring their wives along on the epic trek in search of better hunting grounds. New challenges and perils await the young Paleo-Indians, and the band experiences both happy births and tragic deaths as they forge a better way of life by developing new skills and weapons. American Odyssey: Land of Rivers is the gripping conclusion to a fascinating saga that captures the founding of the Clovis culture with breathtaking accuracy. This item is printed on demand.
