In the shadow of Sunrise, a young boy must prove his worth in a prehistoric world.
Earth Shadow, a young member of the Folsom people, embarks on his first Walk Around, leaving behind the safety of the Circle of Mountains.

As he journeys across the plains, Earth Shadow gathers stones for tools, learns ancient lore, and prepares for the ultimate test: his first bison hunt.
Amidst the dangers of the prehistoric world, Earth Shadow must overcome his physical limitations and step out of his twin brother's shadow. He will encounter new people, strengthen ties between clans at the Great Gathering, and confront the massive bison herd. Will he rise to become a leader, or will he remain forever hidden in the mountains? A thrilling tale of bravery, self-discovery, and ancient traditions for middle grade readers.
