The story so far
The Abduction
Sophia, Emilia, Aurora, Caroline, Alesya and Delyah are working on an advanced translation device at their university when a UFO rips the roof off the building and beams them on board.
They try to hijack the spaceship, but are dumped on a jungle planet after Alesya is killed by the abducting aliens, called the Plood.

The Alien Planet
The girls are dumped on top of a mountain on planet Xren, light years away from Earth.
It’s a jurassic planet where alien dinosaurs roam around, most of them deadly.
Equally deadly cavemen live in tribes scattered around the jungle.
The girls settle in a cave and decide to become the best tribe on the planet and create good lives for themselves, despite the difficult circumstances.

The Cavemen
There are no native women on Xren. They are said to have been abducted by the evil Plood.
The cavemen live in villages of a few hundred tribesmen, waiting for the day when one of them will encounter The Woman. She’s a mythical being sent by The Ancestors to bring all the women back to the tribes.
New babies are born in the villages, made by Lifegivers, large hybrids of plant and animal that can conceive and gestate male fetuses until they can be taken out.

Bune
The mountain where the girls were dumped is called Bune by the cavemen. It is in fact a huge, ancient spaceship that looks like it’s crashed. It’s a mysterious place where there are many dactyls.
The girls feel that a lot of what’s happened to them has something to do with Bune and whichever entity controls it.

The Girls
Sophia
Sophia was the leader of the student project to develop the translator device. She was also the first of the girls to encounter a caveman, called Jax’zan. They are married and have a baby together, little Jaxia Aurelia.

Emilia
Emilia is married to Ar’ox, another caveman from a different tribe. She’s now pregnant by him. She befriended an animal that the cavemen call a ‘gray ghost’, but which looks more like a mix of a mouse and a monkey. Emilia called her new friend Alice. Alice is now a rare guest at the cave.

Heidi
Heidi was caught by Dar’ax, a caveman who can tame dinosaurs. For a while he was riding on the T. Rex-like dinosaur named Gerk, but he now prefers to ride on dactyls. Heidi and Dar’ax are married, and Heidi is pregnant. She's the only one of the girls who wears glass, and also the only one who can ride a dactyl alone.
––––––––
Aurora
The temperamental Aurora is the only one of the girls who made a bow and arrow for hunting and self-defense. She’s married to Trak’zor, a caveman she shot when out hunting. She’s a few weeks pregnant, and she's now replaced her bow with a much more powerful crossbow.
––––––––
Delyah
The shy but fiercely bright Delyah is the elected leader of the little ‘tribe’. She spends a lot of time studying the old wall paintings in the cave, trying to figure out what Bune is and if it might be possible to use that ancient spaceship to go home to Earth.
––––––––
Caroline
Caroline is almost as unassuming as Delyah, and likes taking care of the other girls. She hunts, cooks and experiments with food and drink.
She also secretly fights depression.
