A lonely, intrepid fisherman. A sacred fish. A one-legged pirate. And the loneliest whale ever to live.
The Book of Ribbner is at once a young woman's spiritual journey from tragic loss to salvation, and humanity's broader trek from its harmonious connection with nature to its unsustainable discord with the earth.
This epic adventure spans several continents, taking readers on a harrowing journey from Sweden to Cape Verde, deep into the Amazon Basin, across the Seychelles, and finally to a climactic destination in Bhutan. Here, Hannah Ribbner-a professional fisherman and photographer-experiences a profound spiritual revelation while facing a humanity-altering choice: Will she kill the Last Sacred Golden Mahseer?
Along the way, inspired by the haunting song of the loneliest whale to ever live, Hannah encounters scallywags, pirate hunters, fish killers, and a modern-day Blackbeard named Edwin Finch Odershop (Chop), a South Carolinian searching for the same resolution as Hannah: love's lost harmony.
The Book of Ribbner is a rich, timely religious allegory of humanity's battle for its soul in the age of artificial intelligence.
