In 1603, a shepherd named Brigu places three strange orphans (Sagar, Faria and Shikha) with a religious congregation traveling to the New World. Among the congregation is a fire-haired young woman named Abigail with powers beyond the ordinary. Abigail's care has been entrusted to Faria and Shikha, while Sagar has been instructed to ensure that the colony survives in this harsh land. Four hundred years later, long after Abigail's death, the three orphans, still young, seek to understand who they are and why they're different from ordinary humans. In their quest to learn their origins, they combine the latest scientific methods with ancient mythology. Part thriller, part mystery, this novel explores humanity's connection to nature and the cycles of death and rebirth that have defined our collective existence.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
James Stitt grew up on the Connecticut coast and lives today with his family in Minnesota. His education is in physics and biology with minors in history and archaeology. His literary works explore the intuitive and unconscious knowledge of the ancients, who for millennia have understood life in the context of celestial movements, seasons, and cycles of birth, death, and rebirth. The myths they created perpetuated experiential knowledge for future generations. Unfortunately, we have lost many of those stories that have sustained the people of the earth for thousands of years. Stitt hopes to reintroduce these myths and their collective relationships across cultures within the context of engaging, approachable fiction.
