Bramah's Quest (eBook)

The ambitious second instalment of Renee Sarojini Saklikar's epic fantasy saga in verse, The Heart of This Journey Bears All Patterns (THOT J BAP).This book-length poem features the time-travelling demigoddess Bramah, a locksmith and the saga's hero. In Bramah's Quest, the year is 2087 and Bramah is back on a planet Earth ravaged by climate change and global inequality. Bramah is on a quest to find her people, including the little boy Raphael, last seen at the end of Bramah and the Beggar Boy (2021). Hailed as "e;brilliant and masterful, timely"e; (Kerry Gilbert), this long poem reclaims poetry forms such as blank verse, the sonnet, the ballad and the madrigal. Each page is a portal, connecting readers to the resistance of seed savers, craftspeople, scientists and orphans, all banded together to help save their world from eco-catastrophe and injustice. Ten years in the making, Bramah's Quest weaves poetry with politics to create an epic family saga that is also a meditation on good and evil and a "e;real page turner"e; (Meredith Quartermain). Bramah, "e;brown, brave and beautiful,"e; is determined to conquer the odds and deal with what fate and chance throw in her path. Each twist and turn tests her ability to live up to the motto "e;Let all evil die and the good endure."e;
