It is sixteen thousand years before the birth of Christ. And every human alive wakes to the calls of mammoths.
A vast sheet of ice sits on the North Pole, immense, brooding. Glaciers jut from the ice cap like claws, pulverising rock layers and carving out fjords and lakes. South of the ice, immense plains sweep around the planet, darkened by herds of mighty herbivores. And chief amongst them are countless mammoths. Secure in their ancient history, fearing no other animal, the mammoths little suspect that their time is nearly over.
Separated from his family, the young bull Longtusk begins a lonely odyssey that will take him into the heart of a new, alien culture. Captured and trained by The Lost - pale predators sweeping up from the South - Longtusk faces a bleak future. But it is a future that will take him to the ends of his ice-bound world, a destiny that will see him immortalised in mammoth legend. And all the generations to come will owe everything to Longtusk - the only bull to be mentioned in the great story cycle of the mammoths.
