Opis

In the hoary myths of time out of mind, there is the legend of a vengeful warrior queen, an Ethiopian queen, who conquered a kingdom and radically changed the course of world history. Ethiopia, as the land of the earliest human beings, has been critical to our species development. As such, what Queen Isat accomplished was huge. But did she achieve anything? Did she actually exist? Was she the cruel savage she was purported to be by Christians of the tenth century in northeastern Africa? Did she lay to waste Christians and their churches, slaughter Aksumite princes and establish her own unique dynasty, the Zagwe? The Zagwe were real. Was she as their founder? Or was she already a secret member of their royal court? Or possibly neither? A young woman, Sarah, of present day Seattle stumbles into the clutches of exactly this period of Ethiopian history. Her father is white and American while her mother is black and Ethiopian. Sarah has graduated college and is prepping for law school boards when a maelstrom of events moves her into treacherous spaces and alien places. In White Scream, the sequel to Eyes of a Pagan Queen, whatever questions were brought to bear on the reader of the first book will be answered in this second book. Can you hear the scream? It will seek you out and not relent until you have unraveled the mystery. And the mystery bodes what for your future? You, my reader, must seek out the source of that scream and find out on your own.
