Facing the hardships of life in the Bronze Age, the People of the Ax settle in the fens of Albion, but dissension among their ranks threatens the peace and safety of their clan. By the author of The Sacred Stones. Reissue.

From the Publisher

As the Stone Age slowly gives way to the age of Bronze, a proud warrior clan faces the challenge of a new life in an alien land. Led by the great chieftain Fomor, once called the Wolf of the Western Tribes, the clan MacLir knows the limits of stone against the strange new weapons of their sworn enemy, Nemed MacAgnomian. And so the people of the Ax have settles in the fens of Albion, exchanging flint weapons for farm implements, trading the ways of the warrior for the path of peace. But prosperity has not followed on the heels of their decision, and many in the clan urge their lord to become the Wolf once more . . . or threaten to rise up against him. It is Fomor's firstborn son, Balor, headstrong, and defiant, who receives the sign of the gods that the time of the Wolf is at hand--as the cruel Nemed and his raiders sail toward Albion's shores to wipe the clan MacLir from the face of the earth. And it is Balor who will take up the forbidden sword Retaliator to avenge the past . . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one fantastic and wonderful piece of literature, May 13, 1999

By A Customer

You MUST read this book. The characters are rich, the story is fantastic and the it moves at an incredible pace. Once you start you won't be able to put it down. This is one of Sarabande's finest (if I weren't so attached to Torka and Lonit) I would even say that this is Ms. Sarabande's finest. A+++

5.0 out of 5 stars wolves of the dawn, October 28, 2001

By	samuel snyder (Beckley, West Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

A terrific read! if you enjoyed louie lamour's "walking drum" (non-western)or jean
auel's "clan of the cave bears" then you'll enjoy william Sarabade's work as well. the storyline is powerful and masterfully written by a modern master of this type of genre. a truley must read novel.

Like J.R.R.Tolkien,Tad williams,or jean auel; a writer who takes his genre to a new and enjoyable platuea!!!!!!!

Thank you william sarabande for allowing me to share the in the experiences baylor and his clan encounter at the dawning of the bronze age. i found it to be a highly accurate and enjoyable account of life in as it was in western europe at that time.
