In this triumphant volume, the courageous Ayla and her beloved Jondalar, along with their animal friends Wolf, Whinney, and Racer, have completed their epic journey across Europe and are greeted by Jondalar's people, the Zelandonii. These people of the Ninth Cave fascinate Ayla, and in their spiritual leader--the woman who initiated Jondalar into the Gift of Pleasure--she finds a fellow healer with whom to share her knowledge. But as Ayla and Jondalar prepare for their formal mating at the Summer Meeting, there are difficulties. Not all the Zelandonii are welcoming. Some fear Ayla's unfamiliar ways and her relationship with the Clan, openly opposing her union with Jondalar. Now Ayla must call on all her wisdom and instincts to find her place in this complicated society, to prepare for the birth of her child, and to decide on the role she is to play in shaping the destiny of the Zelandonii. Fifth in the acclaimed Earth's Children(R) series

This book is the 5th book in the Earth's Children Series and takes place after Ayla and Jondalar finally reach his home the 9th cave. I really enjoyed this book and getting to meet all of Jondalar's family as well other members of the Zelandonii. As always with the books in this series there is a bit too much detail about the area and research about the period but there is more story and focus on the people as well so it is not too much skipping in this book.

the shelters of stone
I have loved all the earth,s children series and couldn't wait for the next, but this last one what happened? I have to agree with the other reviews, repeat, repeat, repeat. and sex, ok some but it's a little to much of a hard core porn. And all the tittles, half the book was the peoples name over and over, boring!!! Please Jean go back to the original way you wrote the series, it was a great read. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings but I just wanted you to know what one of your followers in the series thought. And yes I can't wiat for the next

Loved the books. My husband is in Germany and I will take them to him. I know he has read one of them and now that he knows there is a whole series, he wants to read them all.
