A voyage of discovery into the life of a remote aboriginal community in the Siberian Arctic, where the reindeer has been a part of daily life since Palaeolithic times.
The Reindeer People is the first in a series of reissues of Megan Lindholm’s (Robin Hobb) classic backlist titles. It is set in the harsh wilderness of a prehistoric North America, and tells the story of a tribe of nomads and hunters as they try to survive, battling against enemy tribes, marauding packs of wolves and the very land itself.
Living on the outskirts of the tribe Tillu was happy spending her time tending her strange, slow dreamy child Kerlew and comunning with the spirits to heal the sick and bring blessing on new births.
However Carp, the Shaman, an ugly wizened old man whose magic smelled foul to Tillu desired both mother and child. Tillu knew Carp’s magic would steal her son and her soul. Death waited in the snows of the Tundra, but Tillu knew which she would prefer...
Gritty and realistic, it’s reminiscent of Jean Auel’s Clan of the Cave Bear but written in the compelling style of the author who produced the bestselling Assassin’s Apprentice.

A REMARKABLE TALE OF THE FANTASTIC IN EVERYDAY LIFE. ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL FATASIES YOU WILL EVER READ.
Growing up unwanted and untamed in Alaska's wild country, Evelyn found refuge in the depths of the forest. She didn't fit in with the other girls – all they could talk about was boys and clothes.
But out in the forest, an escape from isolation, she could spend time with her only true friend: a young faun – half boy, half satyr – called Pan.
Maturity brings unexpected happiness: a husband and a son. But this short trip into normality comes to a shattering end; and Evelyn's real journey begins – away from the mundanities of shopping malls and frilled toilet-rolls, away from appalling parents-in-law and the claustrophobia of their pedantic lives – out into the wilderness with the wildest creature in the world.
