From deep in the mists of time, Cecelia Holland has drawn forth this tale of life on the Salisbury Plain, among the Stone Age Britons who built Stonehenge. It is the story of hunters, of kings and matriarchs, and of one outcast boy who becomes a shaman, burning with a vision that will take shape in mighty pillars of stone.Here is the story of Moloquin, the unwanted child. Outcast sister-son of the chief of Ladons tribe, he is adopted instead by the wise-woman Karella, storyteller, lawgiver, prophetess. He was a special one, a speaker to the gods, who was determined to build a gateway to heaven, and inspired a people to follow him, to raise the great stones on Salisbury Plain.
