Description
Through the perspective of a jaded, veteran British journalist, Aaron ‘Pelle’ Carter, who embarks on a career-defining journey to Kdzigu Ety, Eastern Butterfly is a fantasy novel that recounts the story of a dying dynasty and youth-led hierarchies shaping the fate of two neighbouring nations, once a formidable force in the East African region. The narrative follows Kasim, a young man of mixed heritage returning from Europe, as he grapples with finding his place in a society undergoing profound transformation. Alongside him is Lateiya, an African princess striving to carve out her identity in a society that undervalues her as a significant heir.
Eastern Butterfly offers a blend of fictional storytelling and contemporary nuance, shedding light on the complexities of identity, power, and the tension between tradition and progress. This compelling fantasy novel, stocked at the Library of Congress, weaves a tale of tradition versus modernity, exploring themes of change within the intricate dynamics of power and heritage. As the narrative unfolds, readers are drawn into a world where the characters navigate personal struggles and societal expectations.
