In the Last Surviving Forest of a Shattered World, Three Ancient Hominids Stand Against Brutal Invaders. 74,000 BCE. The Toba super-eruption has plunged Southeast Asia into volcanic winter. In this apocalyptic wasteland, survival lies only in rare, sheltered pockets of land -- refugia. A young primitive man and the remnants of his clan find one such haven: a mist-shrouded forest shielded from the ash-choked world beyond. He is known as Last -- the smallest, weakest, an outcast among his people. His sole mission: protect his eight-year-old brother, the only family he has left. But when a more advanced human species invades, slaughtering the clan and enslaving the women and children, Last must form an uneasy alliance with two dangerous forest hominids -- one dwarflike, the other monstrous -- to rescue the boy he loves. Refugium is a fact-based prehistoric thriller set against one of Earth's deadliest extinction events. It boldly pushes the limits of hope, human endurance, and the most extraordinary interspecies alliance ever forged. "A brutal, thrilling novel about what it takes to become an apex predator." -- Foreword Clarion Reviews "Refugium succeeds as both a gripping survival narrative and a profound meditation on human consciousness." -- IndieReader
