The glaciers of the Sierra Nevada are melting, destroying the habitat of the mastodons, creating the rich land that will become California. The coastal people struggle to understand the changing world around them: their seer Sunchaser has lost his way to the Spirit World and mammoths continue to disappear. When a beautiful woman arrives, fleeing from her abusive husband, the people know what they must do - for if the Spirits are already taking the animals away, what will happen if they shelter a stranger?

Bestselleren nyindlæst som lydbog. For 14.000 år siden var den nordvestlige del af Nordamerika befolket af jægere og krigere, der var indvandret fra Asien på jagt efter føde og nye levesteder. Men pladsen var trang, fordi vejen sydpå var spærret af den enorme iskappe, der dengang dækkede det nuværende Canada. "Ulvens folk" er en medrivende og dramatisk beretning om en lille flok mennesker, der finder vejen til det store, ubefolkede kontinent syd for isen.

Handlingen i "Ildens Folk" udspiller sig på de store sletter grænsende op til bjergkæden Rocky Mountains. Den unge kvinde Klart Vand flygter fra sin stamme og fra sin brutale mand for at værne om sin lille søn, Lille Danser, som hun ved får ganske særlige evner som drømmer.

Der er gået omkring 8.000 år siden den unge jæger og shaman Ulvedrømmer ledte sit folk gennem isen og åbnede det nordamerikanske kontinent for de første mennesker, som det blev fortalt i Ulvens folk.
