TASIMU is a youth learning of his spiritual gifts and his place in the world. When his people were forced by soldiers to leave their northern home, Tasimu and his family learned hardship as refugees. Now they are struggling in a dry southern land among unfamiliar cultures. Trying to be what his family needs, Tasimu works to connect with natural powers of the world. When Memory Dies deals with issues of defining family roles and cultural disintegration as these tribal people are forced to become refugees, stolen away from their ancestral land. But it is also a story where love for one's family and people triumphs over a need for selfish desires and personal power. Kashallan Press is proud to release the second book in the Tales of Tasimu series by celebrated author Celu Amberstone. The first book in this series, Taste of Memory, was previously published in a shorter form by Kegedonce Press, with the title The Dreamer's Legacy. Here's what award-winning authors had to say about the first book in the series Tales of Tasimu: Truly an interesting book. It takes a familiar story of the colonization of Indigenous people, and gives it a new and exotic twist. Celu Amberstone has fashioned a truly original take on aboriginal storytelling - it teaches, entertains, and mystifies. - Drew Hayden Taylor (author of The Night Wanderer: A Native Gothic Novel, Motorcycles and Sweetgrass) This chronicle of an expulsion and forced migration of a peaceful nation by colonists, set in an alternate world. Narrated by a young boy of the tribe who discovers injustice, and his own filiation. A heartfelt story with a touch of spiritual. (Loosely inspired by the true history of the Cherokee nation, "legally" chased from their ancestral lands.) Ecrit avant la publication de The Way of Thorn and Thunder de D H justice, me rappelle ce dernier livre pour l'inventivité et l'intrigue qui se déroule sur un monde secondaire. Les deux romans reprennent des thèmes autochtones en fantasy, puisque une première nation locale est chassée de son territoire et un adolescent révolté découvre sa filiation spirituelle. -Michèle Laframboise (author of Mistress of the Winds) An original and gripping story. Amberstone transports us to a sad, wild land that is not of our world to tell a heart-warming story from another culture and another time. - Dave Duncan (author of The Seventh Sword, A Man of His Word, A Handful of Men) Merges the mythic aboriginal world with the grim realities of cultural disintegration. The Dreamer's Legacy is a compelling read. - Eileen Kernaghan (author of Wild Talent: a Novel of the Supernatural)

Autorenporträt
Celu is of mixed Cherokee and Scots-Irish ancestry. Celu Amberstone was one of the few young people in her family to take an interest in learning Traditional Native crafts and medicine ways. This interest made several of the older members of her family very happy while annoying others. Legally blind since birth, she has defied her limitations and spent much of her life avoiding cities. Moving to Canada after falling in love with a Méeacute;tis-Cree man from Manitoba, she has lived in the rain forests of the west coast, a tepee in the desert and a small village in Canada's arctic. Along the way she also managed to acquire a BA in cultural anthropology and an MA in health education. Celu loves telling stories and reading. She lives in Victoria British Columbia near her grown children and grandchildren.
