Heartfire Rendezvous: the Crossing Jamal Ali 2º edição

In Heartfire Rendezvous, Book II - The Crossing finds Ogûnniré on a freighter in stormy seas, as both antagonists are swept across the Atlantic towards sprawling Africa. Always the protector of children, Ogûnniré is confronted by those lost and abused, and follows his inner intuitive path, making a way where none exists. The cadre has felt the summons, and each responds in kind, spiraling towards his nexus, battling all the way. The web of plot spreads, thickens, presenting portals and thresholds, drawing intersections and collisions between character and circumstance, vision and unresolved history - fingers of personal destiny gathering into a fist. Their nemesis pursues, leaving a trail of manic destruction. At home, Inandara anchors the children who have their own fears to face, chasms to cross, and choices of if, and how, to engage identities so long denied. Timeless devotion reaches across distance, transforming, healing, and transporting as their collective tale accelerates, rich with remembrance, and the scent of percolating prophecy. "Heartfire Rendezvous is a Lord of the Rings for people of the tropics. This trilogy is a giant step forward in 21st century speculative fiction." Dr. David L. Horne
