A
fantasy and science fiction epic journey about an orphaned boy, Leo,
growing up in the care of his father's good friend from Oxford
University. On his 25th birthday a letter is delivered to the boy with
instructions to find his true home and ancestors. The challenge takes
him, his "uncle" and a servant to Zanzibar and Tunisia to the place of
his ancestors birth where he finds She Who Must be Obeyed. 'She' keeps
her face covered because all who look upon her fall in love with her.
And cannot control their emotions. She is waiting for her own true love
to return to her. And many events enfold as the trio travel toward "She"
including deaths, bigotry, and love. The ill travelers find shelter and
come upon mute slaves of She, and are almost killed for being
strangers. It's soon determined that Leo is her long lost love returned
to her and offers him immortality. He cannot refuse as he has gazed upon
her beauty
and is transfixed. Well, this para normal, fantasy ends with the duo
returning to the England and writing their memoirs of their exploits in
faraway and exotic lands. |
