Ayla and her young family are welcomed by the Zeladonii and they make a home for themselves in a stone cave, but, while their first priority is to care for her daughter, Jonayla, Ayla and her husband, Jondalar, encounter problems in their new community and Ayla uses her skills to come up with innovations to make life easier as she prepares for her initiation as a Zelandoni.

Ayla and Jondalar continue their epic journey across Ice Age Europe to join Jondalar's people, the Zelandonii, confronting new hardships and perilous challenges along the way.
