Discovering the Americas

 

During the height of the Ice Age, one of the coldest times humanity has ever known, Homo sapiens steps into the last habitable continent on the planet: the Americas.

Ella Al-Shamahi discovers how humans were confronted by ferocious 10-foot tall prehistoric bears in this new land and explores the daredevil hunting techniques used to take them down. Deeper into the interior of the North American continent, Ella traces fossilised footprints, possibly of a mother and her child, who were among the first to set foot in North America.

She learns how the humans who lived here hunted vast herds of Ice Age mammoths and giant sloths, until a changing climate and innovative hunting techniques combined to push them to extinction. Forced to adapt, humanity's ancestors pioneered new ways to control nature as farming emerged to shape the world.

Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
