Brukeval, on the other hand, rejects his heritage utterly and refuses to listen to reason. Echozar at least is pacified by Ayla's own story and by his (Echozar's) own marriage to Joplaya, Jondalar's close-cousin (half-sister). Two of their number, Echozar and Brukeval, are of partial Neanderthal ancestry and are ashamed of it. ![]() Luckily for Ayla and Jondalar, some of the higher-ranking Zelandonii already have doubts of this misjudgment. For the Zelandonii to accept Ayla they must first overcome their prejudice against the Neanderthals.

It describes the return of Jondalar to his homeland along with Ayla.Ĭentral to this book is the tension created by Ayla's healing art, her pregnancy, and the acceptance of her by Jondalar's people, the Zelandonii. It is the sequel to The Plains of Passage – published 12 years earlier – and fifth in the Earth's Children series.
