About this listen

In 4386 BC, a young priestess named Sabalah conceives a magical child with a mysterious stranger named Arash. Sabalah names the child Marrah. This child will save the Goddess-worshiping people of Europe from nomad invaders called Beastmen, but only if her mother can keep her alive long enough to grow up. Warned in a vision of the coming invasion, Sabalah flees west with Arash to save her baby daughter, only to discover that she is running into the arms of her worst enemies. In the dark forests of northern Europe, other human-like species left over from the Ice Age still exist.

The author’s intention to bring a story to life using the research of, archaeologist and historian, Marija Gimbutas, was fascinating and exciting to me. Gombutas’ life’s work has led to theories that humans lived for thousands of years in peace and harmony, worshipping deities of Mother Earth, and enjoying art and playing. It appears to have been a time of gender equanimity and cooperation. This book tells the story of Shabala’s quest. While, at times the writing was occasionally immature or simplistic, I enjoyed the historical context and the story was gripping. I’m looking forward to reading the sequel.

Neolithic historical fiction, set at a time of matrilineal societies.

This is a very good story and well worth a credit, the narration is above average and absolutely well preformed..

I know and love the next books in the series, and the stories there is just better, and thats why i can't give 5 stars to Sabalah'sTale..
The year the horses came and Horses at the gate is especially noteworthy.. And i hope to find them here one day too... Always sad when a series is incomplete... And then the very best, are the missing ones to boot...

But Sabalah's Tale is absolutely worth listening to...

I would like to give full house but...
