Synopsis

En el arido suelo africano, hace mas de medio millon de anos, se asienta la tribu de los Kura, una sociedad matriarcal de homo erectus. Snap -una joven y apasionada mujer de la tribu-esta destinada a liderar a su gente, y este ano debera elegir un companero por primera vez. ¿Elegira a alguien diferente cada ano, o preferira un macho con quien aparearse siempre, como hizo su madre, Whistle, la proxima lider de la tribu? A medida que se acerca la ceremonia del Enlace, el futuro de Snap permanece incierto. Pero Whistle, al ver que su companero no regresa, elegira a un extranjero con ideas mucho mas peligrosas que los leones que matan de un solo zarpazo Cuando Snap reta el poder del extranjero, es expulsada violentamente de la tribu. Abandonada a su suerte, arriesgara su vida -y el futuro de su gente-para enfrentarse a un mal inconcebible. Sin que ella lo sepa ese mismo peligro amenaza a otras tribus. Pronto, Snap y su nueva banda de desterrados se enfrentaran a una fuerza mas terrorifica y mortal que cualquiera de las amenaza natural que Africa haya visto hasta entonces. Tan imaginativa como verosimil, La hija de la tribu da vida a un tiempo ancestral y salvaje. Austin ha creado un personaje inolvidable en la piel de esta heroina indomita que alcanzara la madurez en un apasionante historia de valentia, lealtad y pasion.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

In the dry African soil, more than half a million years ago, was established the Kura tribe, a matriarchal society of homo erectus. Snap-a passionate and young woman of the tribe is destined to lead her people, and this year she must choose a mate for the first time. Will she choose someone different every year, or will she prefer a male to mate ever, as did her mother, Whistle, the prior leader of the tribe? As the ceremony is to come, Snap's future remains uncertain. But Whistle, when her partner does not return, will elect a foreigner with ideas much more dangerous than lions killing with one blow ... When Snap challenged the power of the Snap foreigner, she is violently expelled from the tribe. Abandoned, she risks her life and future of her people-to confront an unthinkable evil. Without knowing, the same danger threatens other tribes. Soon, Snap and her new band of exiles will face a terrifying and deadly force rather than any natural hazard that Africa has ever seen. As imaginative as credible, the daughter of the tribe gives life to a honored and wild time. Austin has created an unforgettable character in the skin of this indomitable heroine who will mature into a gripping tale of courage, loyalty and passion.
