Legacy of the Flames - The Acqwalchen Saga, #2

Teywin is changed, first by slavery and now by her bond to a Qwaseutl master. And her master is mad with grief. How can she learn what she needs, while teaching her master's young as they grow quickly? Though she is isolated in the mountain cave, all too near are invader soldiers, a lying priest, and an elder of her people. Legacy of the Flames continues the exciting series that began with Moth in the Flames from celebrated author Celu Amberstone. Here is adventure with a sense of history, and fear.   Critical reactions to Amberstone's works are positive and enthusiastic! On her book Taste of Memory :  "Celu Amberstone has fashioned a truly original take on aboriginal storytelling - it teaches, entertains, and mystifies." -Drew Hayden Taylor   On her collection Refugees And Other Stories : "Amberstone's seductive and enthralling stories employ fantastic elements to balance the joy of kinship with the devastating effects of colonialism. A must-read collection!" -Dr Joy Sanchez-Taylor, professor & author of Diverse Futures Amberstone's tales reflect real-world challenges and what it takes to overcome them .  - Dr Allan Weiss, author and associate professor of English and Humanities, York University The benevolence of an alien race that helped them come to this place, and requires their obedience to rules, is questioned over the course of the story, as is whether harsh decisions aimed at ensuring humanity's survival are an acceptable price to pay.   - James McGrath, reviewing "Refugees" for Journal of Postcolonial Theory and Theology   On her series Tales of the Kashallans : "I've read the first book in Tales of the Kashallans series, and it was... wow! Mind blown. Never read anything like it before. Rest of the series is on my TBR list." -Jess Mahler on Bluesky
