Land of Dreams: The Deterrent Weapon

About this book

In the darkness of defeat, and when peoples think the ember of resistance has gone out under the ash of defeat, "the miracle" is born from the womb of the impossible. "Land of Dreams" in its fourth part is no mere fantasy tale, but a mirror of the human psyche's struggles between fidelity and treason, and between the honor of trying and the bitterness of surrender. We accompany in this part the General Commander leading the remnants of his weary people across the barren savanna, hunted by "the black flame" and watched by the eyes of traitors within. Here, a drop of water becomes dearer than kings' crowns, and the "baobab" tree turns into a last refuge of life amid a merciless desert. Events escalate when the secrets of the past are revealed, and late confessions emerge from mouths burdened by remorse like Grandmother Tofaha, so we discover the enemy may not always be beyond the borders, but may be one we fed and sheltered. Between the stubborn "Elephant Kingdom" and the enchanting "Palm Oasis," the writer weaves a human epic transcending the limits of imagination to touch the values of sacrifice and covenant.
