Kashallan Press is proud to release this third 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'inventivite et l'intrigue qui se deroule sur un monde secondaire. Les deux romans reprennent des themes autochtones en fantasy, puisque une premiere nation locale est chassee de son territoire et un adolescent revolte decouvre sa filiation spirituelle.
-Michele 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)
