"Dawn breaks over a sprawling forest in Cretaceous North America -- a dawn far colder than its peaceful, forest-dwelling herbivores are used to. The seasons are changing, and it's time for the able-bodied to migrate south. But the trek is a dangerous one even when massive herds band together, for while there is safety in numbers, numbers also draw attention, and the carnivores are moving in! This journey may not last long when the first hunter arrives, a ferocious tyrannosaurus rex who has her sights set on a young triceratops!"

She immediately senses Conanıs power and vitality when he steals into the temple, and she vows to take this Cimmerian warrior as her lover -- or at least have a good time killing him! Spinning out of Robert E. Howardıs Hour of the Dragon novel comes the untold tale of Akivasha, the title character to Howardıs ³I Am the Woman Who Never Died² chapte "
