Synopsis

Curious and brave (and sometimes impulsive), fifteen-year-old Azaria generally likes to keep out of trouble. But the consequences of her actions don’t always turn out the way she foresees. Her world is flipped upside down when she accidentally witnesses her father, Azerban, participating in the sacrifice of a rival tribesmen.The tension builds when Azaria bends the rules in an important race she knows she cannot otherwise win. She draws the interest of her people’s shamanistic leaders and is rewarded with new status for her gutsy performance, but also makes an enemy in Yumineh, who has her heart set on a boy Azaria also has more than a little interest in.As Azaria’s unique gifts become apparent to Fahim and Takur, her people’s shamanistic co-leaders, they see an opportunity to bring about the one thing they want more than anything else – the return of their gods.Azaria counts herself blessed with loyal friends and a loving family. But when she finds herself abandoned, will her enduring spirit be enough to survive what the powerful have planned for her?AZARIA is a character-driven historical novel in the vein of Jean Auel’s Earth’s Children series. It’s woven around the mysterious hunter-gatherer culture that erected Gobekli Tepe - the massive, 13,000-year-old temple structure in modern day Turkey whose discovery rocked the archaeological community and is now widely believed to mark man’s transition to civilization.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

J. H. Hayes is the author of Azaria, a pre-historical fiction centered on the emerging civilization that built the mysterious temple site of Gobekli Tepe over 12,000 years ago. Gobekli Tepe is located in the northern tip of the Fertile Crescent in what is now south-eastern Turkey. It is recognized by scholars as the world’s first temple and completely upturned the long held belief that agriculture came before large scale construction projects. Hayes graduated from Sonoma State University and spent time at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics working on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. He now owns a small company in southern California where he lives with his wife and two cats.
