From this point on, Ayla strikes out on her own, seeking her own kind. The story then begins to alternate between her point of view and that of her designated love interest, Jondalar, a Cro-Magnon from what is today France, as he journeys down the length of the "[[wikipedia:Danube|Great Mother River]]" with his brother Thonolan. Thonolan is killed during the adventure, and Jondalar wounded, but Ayla saves him, and the two fall in love. After spending a year with a Ukrainian tribe and entering a [[Love Triangle]], they then begin to journey back up the Danube, arriving back at Jondalar's homeland just in time for the fifth book to start. |
