An Epic Saga of Loss and Survival in an Ancient Neolithic World
(The Téuta’s Child)
By S. G. Ullman
Publisher: Stuart Ullman
Page Length: 339
Genre: Historical Fiction
Nearly 8,300 years ago, a sudden climate collapse reshaped the earth. Winters grew longer and colder, harvests failed, coastlines flooded, and the ground itself became unstable. For the Téuta, a settled Neolithic village that had endured for generations, survival became uncertain.
Eini is born with troubling visions of disaster—warnings her people dismiss as superstition. As the climate worsens and violence spreads among desperate neighbors, Eini spends her lifetime trying to protect her family and preserve the fragile traditions that hold her community together. When catastrophe finally strikes, the Téuta must face the unthinkable: abandoning their ancestral home and redefining who they are in a transformed world.
Told across generations, Singing Bones follows the lives of women whose strength, memory, and resilience shape the fate of their people—from prophecy, to survival, to leadership forged in loss. Song, story, and shared history become tools of endurance in a world where nothing can be taken for granted.
Grounded in real archaeological and climate research, Singing Bones is ancient historical fiction set during the Neolithic era. Its spiritual elements arise from a prehistoric worldview in which nature, belief, and survival are inseparable. Sweeping yet intimate, it explores how early civilizations responded to climate catastrophe, displacement, and change.
Perfect for readers of immersive historical fiction, ancient civilizations, prehistoric survival stories, and epic sagas rooted in humanity’s deep past.
"Rich in atmosphere and thoughtful in its exploration of human experience, "Singing Bones" is a quietly powerful novel that lingers long after the final page has been turned. S. G. Ullman has crafted a work that speaks to the enduring strength of community, the persistence of memory, and the deeper currents that run beneath human understanding, offering a nuanced and deeply reflective reading experience."
exploration of spirituality, nature, and human connection draws the reader in until stepping away feels impossible. For those interested in early human communities and survival during ecological catastrophe, this is a novel that goes beyond storytelling—it brings the Neolithic era vividly to life."
