Bramah's Discovery - by Renée Sarojini Saklikar (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The ambitious third instalment of Renée Sarojini Saklikar's epic fantasy saga in verse, The Heart of This Journey Bears All Patterns (THOT J BAP).

In Bramah's Discovery, the year is 2110 and Bramah's journey to discover the truth about her origins, and to find out more about her parents, continues. Along the way, this time-travelling locksmith rescues her friend Amahl the Beggar, trapped in the Eternal Game of Climate Chess; eludes an evil drug-lord; encounters two shape-shifting mythical beasts, Fanon and Gavroche; breaks free from captivity in Baghdad; and battles wits with a Paris collective of super naturals. Each challenge forces Bramah to discover truths about her own demi-goddess self and the price of idealism in the face of ecological and economic calamity.

Ten years in the making, Bramah's Discovery weaves the devastation of climate change into speculative verse to create an epic family saga that is also a meditation on good and evil. Bramah--brown, brave and beautiful--is determined to conquer the odds and deal with what fate and chance throw in her path. Each twist and turn tests her ability to live up to the motto "Let all evil die and the good endure."
