Animal Utopia

From the author of The Serpent's Cane comes a "fantasy animal kingdom tale" about the struggle of Jusceya against the Greadouans to overthrow centuries old rulers of her kingdom.

Jusceya was the perfect buffalo of her powerful pack. She was young, brave and loved by her parents, tribe and her chief. She and her partner had lovely children, whom both cared for equally. Her life could not have been any better.

But then the Greadouans struck.

Now, the tribe is terrified as every day dozens from her pack are taken away by the Greadouans. Jusceya's tribe has succumbed to the rule of the Greadouans and accepted these tribal killings as part of their fate. And then one day, one of Jusceya's children is taken away by the Greadouans. Her partner and her tribe have chosen silence over vengeance. But little do they know that Jusceya is a mother whose child was taken away so silence is the last thing on her mind. The fury of a mother is triggered but her tribe does not stand behind her. Instead, the chief kicks out Jusceya from the tribe for proving to be dangerous as she shares her idea of fighting back, corrupting the mind of the young buffaloes to stand up for their right to live.

An avenging mother and a lone warrior against the mighty Greadouans, Jusceya travels a treacherous path, filled with wit, fire and death. She is still haunted by the unanswered questions. Did she take the right decision by running away? How would she beat the mighty Greadouans who have ruled since centuries? And will she be able to survive this journey or will she be another life slain by the predators?
