In a mythical time, a female community by the sea conceives without males and attributes their pregnancies to the moon or the sea. The males are abandoned, but some are rescued by eagles and raised by deer. When a mother discovers those men, a union arises between both worlds and a mixed lineage that will give rise to a new humanity.

For readers of literary fiction and stories that reinterpret origin myths with a feminist perspective.
Doris May Lessing was a British novelist – sometimes identified as Rhodesian early in her career – and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007. Lessing was born to British parents in Qajar Iran, where she lived until she was 6 in 1925. Her family then moved to Southern Rhodesia, where she remained until moving to London, England, in 1949. Her novels include The Grass Is Singing (1950), the sequence of five novels collectively called Children of Violence (1952–1969), The Golden Notebook (1962), The Good Terrorist (1985), and five novels collectively known as Canopus in Argos: Archives (1979–1983).
