HEIRS OF CATRIONA

Just as earthly time stops when the characters unfurl their journey across the magical land of Catriona, so does the reader’s sense of time as one rapidly navigates one’s way through the silvery forest of ivory trees, mysterious caves with mythical gods, through lakes containing lotus embedded with emeralds and through a landscape lighting up with a multitude of characters. It’s a place ‘where one grows faster and lives longer’. It’s a place where earthy metaphors are conjured but the limits of their earthy meanings are challenges. The story centers around two young women Sara and Cristina, two young women. Their inter-world journey unfolds itself like pieces of a puzzle being slowly put together, one at a time. It’s an adventure across rough situations, taming fiery wolves and answering riddles to an old tree. It’s also an adventure across blowing revelations, they learn that their mothers who they thought were dead were still held captive by a malicious witch, functioning under the demonic loki, they also find out secrets about the fathers they had never seen.
