She has spent her whole life wedged between the inexorable power of the Company and the chaotic politics of the indigenous nymph tribes. Her family’s wisdom and her faith in God guide her. And she loves her life. That was until her Da gave her the Gwambi keys... and told her to run. Is her family’s wisdom and her ancestral faith enough to protect her from two pirate crews, a vengeful griffin, and a sorcerer? Ella can’t help her either: she’s too busy dealing with the fallout of the increasingly violent labor strikes. And that was before she awakened the ghost...The swashbuckling tale of “My Father’s Land” continues in this thrilling sequel, bringing more of A C Wilson’s unique world-building, and faith-based, character driven fantasy.With a focus on immersive world-building that features fully developed fantasy races, deeply religious colonists, and labor riots, “My Father’s Land” draws as much from JRR Tolkien and Indiana Jones as it does from Charles Dickens. “The Gwambi Tetralogy” borders on magical realism, and is a faith-based and character-driven spin on the fantasy genre.Includes 10 hand-drawn illustrations of the highest quality by Shelby Elizabeth.
