The New Day Dawns, the first book in the saga of The People of the Frozen Earth, begins twenty centuries ago on the Western Great Plains in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The young warrior Mach and the chief's daughter Horda are preparing to celebrate the Mating Rituals. Their joyous plans are interrupted and almost destroyed by a combination of their own actions, tribal mores, powerful enemies, and forces of nature. They must use all their skills; strengths; and beliefs in themselves, each other, and the values of the People to not only survive, but triumph. In the end, which is only the beginning, they learn that what they have become is more important than what they were.
