The Dreamer II – The Gathering continues the saga as Tris’s sheltered world expands when The People from the East (the Cro-Magnon) begin to settle in ever-increasing numbers on the long-held territories of the Old Ones (Neanderthals). Discord develops as they come into serious competition for the same limited resources…
The Dreamer – THE BEGINNING contains a frontispiece featuring the title character, Tris, and 29 sketches of the animals mentioned within the text of the book. These drawings were shrunken so as to fit on the pages and in doing so, much of the detail was lost. For those who would like a larger view of the original pictures, here’s a small sampling:

#TheDreamerBookSeries
The Dreamer is a series of novels that follows the life of a young Neanderthal man, Tris (the Dreamer), his father Tor, and their Cro-Magnon friend and neighbor, Black Wolf. At the time of the Earth’s last Great Glacial Period, Europe was inhabited by at least two peoples: the Neanderthal and the Cro-Magnon. Although this primitive world was filled with a harsh and stunning beauty, it was also a brutally difficult period in mankind’s history. Humans struggled to survive against the dangers posed by an inhospitable climate and their perilous position within nature’s food chain. As the story unfolds, Tris’s dreams figure prominently, but it is really an ongoing adventure that revolves around family, friendship, love, social conflict and endurance against the odds.
