The Year the Horses Came

About the Book

Volume One of The Earthsong Trilogy evokes the moment in pre-history when marauding nomads brought horses, male gods, and war to a goddess-worshipping Europe that had known peace for thousands of years. Against this perilous backdrop, a passionate, dangerous love develops between Marrah, a gifted priestess, and Stavan, one of the invading warriors.

"A researcher's precision combined with storytelling magic."
-Marija Gimbutas, author of The Civilization of the Goddess

"Vivid, dramatic, compelling."
-Marge Piercy, author of Woman on the Edge of Time
