An enchanting, mezmerizing novel that blends archaeology, voodoo, magic and nature.
A homage to the Island of Haiti, birthplace of this Franco-Russian and Haitian author's father, and the world's first independent Black colony in 1804. In 1536, a horse trainer and healer escapes to the heart of the Haitian jungle with a young Black female slave, also gifted with exceptional powers. Hunted by the Spanish colonists bent on exterminating all Indians, they find refuge in a sacred grotto. There, isolated from the rest of the world, the last great Taïna Shaman begins an initiation ceremony for Peace, hoping to end all senseless killing. Five centuries later, another chosen young couple will rediscover the sacred grotto that houses extraordinary ancient treasures. The result is a violent confrontation between political and esoteric powers. A magic novel in every sense of the word, heartfelt and hopeful, that reads like an epic adventure.
