When all hope is gone and only darkness remains, one woman must stand against the storm of change-or see her world swept away. 5200 BCE. In a land of towering mountains and shadowed valleys, the Izokina people struggle to endure. Te'a, daughter of a chieftain, carries the weight of tradition, leadership, and survival on her shoulders. But when strangers arrive bearing gifts-and the promise of alliance-Te'a alone perceives the danger in their bargain. As oaths splinter and betrayal takes root, Te'a must guard her people against forces that threaten not only their land but their very way of life. With only the fierce loyalty of her band and the unyielding strength of her spirit, she must stand as the last barrier between her people and the darkness of oblivion.

Frozen in Time is an archaeology-rooted saga of culture clash and survival: clan politics, contested leadership, and the costs of loyalty. No easy heroes, no soft focus-only a tribe of hunter-gatherers standing against the storm of change, and a people choosing who they will be.
