But to Ayla, who was raised by the Clan of the Cave Bear, they are the "Others" She approaches them with a mixture of fear and curiosity. It is the Mamutoi master carver of ivory -- flirtatious, artistic, magnetic,dark skinned Ranec -- who Ayla finds herself drawn to the most. Because of her uncanny control over animals, her healing skills, and the magic firestone she discovers, Ayla is adopted into the Mammoth Hearth by Mamut, the ancient shaman of the Great Earth Mother. Ayla finds herself torn between her strong feelings for Ranec and her powerful love for the wildly jealous and unsure Jondalar. It is not until after the great mammoth hunt, when Ayla's life is threatened, that a fateful decision is made.
