Nearly 20,000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, forces of passion and power collide, creating a love tri- angle between a powerful king and two great spirits of the Earth: Nokomis, the Gentle Spirit of the Earth, and Tohopka, the Wild Spirit of the Earth. Jealousy and the lust for power drive a vengeful conflict that spans a life- time and two continents. This story takes love and re- venge to the limits of the human heart. The result rains environmental destruction on the planet and fuels a desire for domination that still resides in the hearts of many today. This is the story of where humankind's war on nature began.
